The Umthi Bookshelf brings the organic beauty of nature into your home with a design inspired by the graceful lines and branching rhythm of trees. As with all pieces in the Umthi Range — named after the Xhosa word for “tree” — this bookshelf celebrates the natural form and character of wood, allowing the material to guide its shape and flow.
With a minimalist structure and five thoughtfully spaced shelves, the Umthi Bookshelf offers functional storage with an artistic touch. Each shelf features gentle, branch-like curves that create a visually engaging and sculptural silhouette — perfect for displaying books, objects, and curated collections.
Crafted in your choice of timber, the Umthi Bookshelf balances simplicity and sophistication, making it a refined addition to both modern and nature-inspired interiors.

Instead of seeking employment, entrepreneurial and nature-loving design students Abrie von Wielligh and Norman Meyer decided to create their own furniture business. And they’ve never looked back. Their award-winning designs are world renowned for detailing and finishing that showcases the inherent beauty of wood. For every piece of furniture they create, a tree is planted in return.
