With lockdown restrictions easing following a tough 2020, businesses have reopened offices and employees returned to work. However, many employers have encouraged their staff to continue to stay at home to mitigate the risk of a potential second wave, while others have ditched the office completely in favour of remote working.
This comes as good news for Tinsley Woodcrafters, a Cape Town-based carpentry business that collaborates with interior designers, architects, upholsterers, and steel engineers to create beautiful custom-built furniture.
Founder and owner Brendan Tinsley has seen an increase in inquiries from homeowners and businesses looking to update their space. “We are still able to build unique custom furniture for our clients, even during COVID-19,” he says. “Clients can send us images, ideas, and videos of their space over WhatsApp or email, and we’re able to provide suggestions and send designs and quotes to them electronically. We are also able to send in a small team of people for installations and ensure we work around our clients’ schedules to limit interactions in their homes or offices,” he says.
