Sindisiwe Sekhukhune

Hosting visitors and shaping the showroom

From opening the doors each morning to drawing in the Highveld air, Sindisiwe Sekhukhune ensures the Pretoria showroom always feels calm and considered. Her practical routines set the stage for every visit, from checking that the Baobab Lamp’s patina is spotless to aligning the Karoo Screen so its hinges open smoothly. She arranges the Veld Tray, Studio Bench, and Journal Box Edition for hands-on viewing, letting visitors feel the weight and texture of each piece. When new forms arrive from the Woodstock atelier, Sindisiwe inspects finishes, refreshes labels, and manages handover with the Pretoria bakkie driver if timing is tight.

Attention to detail in every corner

Sindisiwe makes small but important adjustments throughout the day. She opens windows to keep air moving, shifts the Canopy Pendant to catch late sun over the Maker Mark, and keeps spare furniture feet and felt pads close in case a display wobbles after a busy Saturday. At closing, she checks the stock, relabels items, and leaves an update for the install care team if a foyer plinth has been requested for delivery. These habits keep the showroom ready for everyone, whether it’s a family choosing a Textile Panel Frame for their stoep or a wine estate owner looking for a new Map Cabinet South.

Working with clients, makers, and the Creation Africa team

Sindisiwe is often the first voice and face visitors meet at Brooklyn Design Square. She guides clients through options, showing samples side-by-side and pointing out joinery or kiln marks. For custom finishes, she coordinates with Johan de Vries at the Woodstock atelier and arranges installation details with Gert Viljoen for custom foyer plinths or braai room lighting. If visitors have questions about ceramic processes, she contacts Amina Patel for the latest product notes. Her clear communication ensures every detail is covered, from the brass fixings on a Canopy Pendant to the felt lining of a Journal Box Edition.

Typical week in the Pretoria showroom

Most weeks, Sindisiwe’s work covers everything from display upkeep to client conversations and product handovers. She’s involved in each step: prepping new forms from the Woodstock studio, answering queries on finishing methods, and organising handoffs for local deliveries. When a client requests something unusual, like a foyer plinth with a non-standard base, she takes the time to check schedules and collaborate with both the studio and install care team. These routines help keep the Pretoria space welcoming and set up for visits from across Gauteng and beyond.

When to ask for Sindisiwe by name

If you’re planning a visit to see our Pretoria collection or want guidance on how forms will fit at home or work, Sindisiwe is your first point of contact. She can demonstrate joinery details, explain finish techniques, and help match options to your space. For custom requests or installation prep, she connects directly with our makers and care team to ensure your requirements are handled with care. If you need to arrange a showroom meeting or have technical questions about any of the displayed forms, send a message through our contact form and ask for Sindisiwe.
