Steel and Wood Furniture, based at 1 Dungarvan West, Borrowdale, is showing a range of timber and steel pieces for Zimbabwean homes, from kitchen stools to a storage coffee table for the lounge.

Furniture for the Kitchen

The centrepiece of the range is the saddle-seat stool, with a gently scooped timber seat, splayed legs and cross-braces for strength. It suits the kitchen islands and breakfast counters that are increasingly common in Zimbabwean homes. The stools come in finishes from deep, glossy red-brown, which shows off the grain, to lighter honey tones, where contrasting shades of timber are visible in the seat and legs. A version with slim black steel frames and wooden foot rails gives a more industrial look.

Dining and Entertaining

For families short on space, the collection includes a tall, rectangular counter-height table in light timber, paired with matching stools. Its chunky legs and low rails echo the sturdy build of the stools. The combination suits compact kitchens, open-plan living areas and casual family meals, and it can double as a workspace or a place for children to do homework.

Storage in the Lounge

In the living room, a square storage coffee table with a hinged, split lid doubles as a centrepiece and a place to keep blankets, books and remote controls out of sight. Crossed timber bracing on the sides, in a barn-door style, and black steel corner brackets and hinges give it a robust, farmhouse character. In a household where the lounge is used daily, a table that combines surface and storage makes practical sense.

Warm Materials, Modern Lines

Timber brings warmth and natural variation, while steel adds strength and clean lines. The photographs show the furniture alongside natural fibres, woven pendant lights, neutral upholstery and indoor greenery, a look many homeowners are choosing for new builds and renovations. The same pieces would also suit more traditional interiors.
