Our story
Two decades of precision joinery for Winelands homes and businesses.
Modern Kitchens & Cupboards is an owner-run cabinetmaking workshop delivering residential and commercial joinery from first measurement to final handover.
Modern Kitchens & Cupboards began as a small workshop building loose furniture for neighbours and the odd cupboard for a guest cottage. Today it is a hands-on owner-run business: one installer/owner on site, supported by two to three skilled workers in the workshop and on installations.
What has not changed is how we work. The same person who measures your home draws the cutting list and stands in your kitchen on installation day. It keeps us honest, and it means nothing gets lost between the quote and the finished job.
We serve Cape Winelands — most of our work still comes from clients who saw a neighbour's kitchen and asked who built it.

How we work
Craftsmanship philosophy
Measured by hand, twice
Every project starts with a site visit and a full measure-up. No template kitchens, no assumptions about your walls being square.
Built in our own workshop
We do not outsource. Doors, carcasses and drawers are machined, assembled and finished under our own roof in the Cape Winelands.
Timber we can stand behind
American white oak, kiaat, saligna and marine-grade board, paired with Blum and Hettich hardware carrying manufacturer guarantees.
Our process
From first measurement to handover
01
Consultation & measure-up
We visit the site, take full measurements and talk through layout, finishes and budget in ZAR.
02
Design & fixed quotation
You receive drawings and an itemised quote. Nothing goes into production until you are happy with both.
03
Manufacture in the workshop
Carcasses, doors and drawers are machined, edged, assembled and finished by our small in-house team.
04
Installation & handover
The owner-installer fits, levels and adjusts on site, cleans up daily, and walks you through care and guarantees.
