MUSE & ALCHEMY · CAPE TOWN
Interiors & upholstery in Cape Town
An interior commission needs to belong to its setting. Muse & Alchemy develops bespoke leather upholstery and interior applications with attention to the relationship between the individual element and the wider space: its proportions, material presence and finish.

Work developed in response to a particular space, object or interior context. Material judgement, proportion and finish contribute to the wider environment, bringing individual elements into a considered relationship with their surroundings.

A commission shaped around the brief
The selected work includes seating, headboards, covered surfaces and interior details. These examples demonstrate material and construction judgement across different scales. A new brief is developed for its own environment and intended use, rather than treated as an isolated decorative object.
Starting the conversation
Photographs, drawings, approximate dimensions and references for the wider interior help explain the context. Include the location, intended use, target timeline and budget range. If a piece or spatial detail is still at concept stage, share what it needs to contribute to the environment.
Muse & Alchemy is led by Ryan Jarvis, Founder & Creative Director, drawing on more than two decades across art, design, development and making. Meet the creative director.
