About Kwela

Handmade to “Imperfection”

Since 2002

Established in 2002, Kwela Tiles is a proudly South African manufacturer of individually handcrafted architectural finishes, built on a passion for timeless design, quality and individuality.

Finding beauty in imperfection

We believe that true beauty lies in character, natural variation and the uniqueness of the handmade. Every Kwela product is individually crafted, giving each piece its own distinctive character and ensuring that no two are ever quite the same.

Led by Directors Keane Harvey and Garth Tooth, Kwela Tiles continues to build on its proud heritage, championing local manufacturing and creating products that stand apart from mass production.
