This Joburg INTERIOR ARCHITECT is spearheading timeless, thoughtful and well-made design.

- PHENDU KUTA

DANIELLA KILPATRICK founded steel furniture, decor and fittings brand Controst last year. This leap to go it alone came after several years of working at design group Savile Row, and at her dad’s company, designing and manufacturing packaging machines.

It’s immediately evident that the Joburg interior architect, who also happens to be a 2022 Design Indaba Emerging Creative, is all about thoughtful, precise work. Her steel pieces are elegant, lightweight and built to last, and her interior design knowledge, coupled with her dad’s engineering experience, means that buyers have the option of creating all kinds of custom steel products. I spend 80% of most days on the essential tasks of building a business, and the other 20% in the factory. This means I’m hands-on throughout the manufacturing process. On a Friday or Saturday, I usually set aside a few hours of uninterrupted design time for new product development and custom work.

Design done well cleverly adds a new level of value to its users that they didn’t know they needed.
