About

Based between Cape Town and Amsterdam, Lemon is a furniture company grounded in a deep appreciation for design and craft. Its pieces are made to be lived with - to age, to soften, to develop a patina over time.

Founded by Kevin Frankental and Jaco van Staden, Lemon collaborates with designers across the globe who share a common philosophy, drawing on a lineage of references - from history, film and art - to create pieces that feel entirely at ease in the present.

 Working closely with artisans and guided by a respect for the human hand and the honesty of natural materials, each piece carries a quiet emotional weight; designed not only to endure, but to become part of the lives around it.

Craftmanship

We hold a deep appreciation for all that is made by hand. The pieces in our collection are crafted to outlast us, remaining sturdy despite the telltale signs of use and affection. To ensure that neither quality nor integrity is compromised, we work closely with specialists in their respective fields, from artists and metalworkers to upholsterers and carpenters.

Permanence

We do not mass-produce, mass production often leads to excessive waste and environmental harm, we take a different approach. Each piece of furniture is meticulously made to order, ensuring that no resources are squandered in the manufacturing process.
