Minimalist Excellence

All our furniture and decor are minimalist in design. We’re inspired by the pioneering architect, Mies van der Rohe’s motto, “less is more” – that’s why we’re called LIM. We believe that simple, considered and contemporary pieces make the biggest impact.

Timeless Pieces

Every LIM product is made with only the highest quality materials by the hands of experienced craftsmen. We focus on creating classic designs that stand the test of time.

 Iconic Heritage

LIM was founded in 1997, when the visionary, Pauline Mutlow, opened LIM in the iconic Kloof Street, Cape Town. Since then, LIM has epitomised innovative design, impeccable craftsmanship, and personalised service.

A Modern Twist

In April 2022, Pauline passed the baton over to us, Andrea Gazet du Chatellier and Marc-Anthony Hewson. We’re dedicated to building on Pauline’s legacy and taking our brand to new heights. We hope you’ll join us.
