01 · The Workshop

Built by hand,
under the mountain.

For over fifteen years, AG Shopfitters has been turning raw timber into refined spaces — drawing on a deep Cape tradition of joinery, restraint, and material honesty.

From our Observatory workshop, we design, manufacture and install bespoke interiors for boutiques, restaurants, offices and homes across the Western Cape and beyond. Every commission is drawn by us, machined by us, and finished by the same hands that delivered it.

04 · How we work

A simple, four-part process.

  1. I

    Consult

    Site visit, brief, measurement. We listen first, sketch second.

  2. II

    Design

    Drawings, materials, costing. You approve before a single board is cut.

  3. III

    Manufacture

    Built in our Observatory workshop by named craftsmen.

  4. IV

    Install

    Our own team delivers, fits and snags — clean handover.

05 · In their words

AG built our entire flagship interior — every shelf, every counter. Detail and finish were faultless.

— Boutique Owner, Kloof Street

We hand them a brief and they hand back a finished restaurant. Their joinery is the best in the Cape.

— Restaurateur, V&A Waterfront

On time, on budget, and beautifully made. Already booked them for our next office.
