About US
Evolution creates narratives through textiles. From hand-dyed cushion covers to woven throws and bold wall art, each piece speaks to history, place, nature and time.
EVERY DESIGN BEGINS WITH A STORY
By bearing witness to the essential and invisible stories of nature, we hope to spark a deeper connection: to who we are, where we come from, and how we can preserve our shared future.
Amanda du Plessis, our founder, has always had a clear vision: to create homeware that carries the soul of unique biospheres and protected cultures around the world. Every piece tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship.
Through heartfelt collaboration and sincere connection with our clients, we craft textiles that reflect history, place and time. In each product is the beauty, fragility, and magic of the natural world - and the people who have touched its soil.
Our Clients
We collaborate, create, and sell to
- High-end retail stores that share our values of authenticity and quality.
- Interior decorators and designers seeking bespoke, narrative-driven solutions.
- Hospitality brands - luxury lodges, hotels, and guest houses - who want interiors that carry local relevance and originality.
- Direct clients and homeowners who wish to bring Nature as art into their living spaces through cushions, carpets, throws, and wall art.
Together, we create.
Evolution is not just a design house. It is a narrative built on heritage and artistry.
We collaborate with makers, custodians, and designers to create bespoke products that speak of place and purpose.
We design for longevity, creating pieces that are timeless rather than trend-driven.
We weave together stories of nature, culture, and people, ensuring every product carries meaning.
Our work is layered, just like the narratives that inspire it. From intimate homes to expansive hospitality projects, our products create atmospheres that are original, evocative and timeless - designs born from story, but crafted to live anywhere in the world. Each project we work on is tailored to its own narrative. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding biospheres and landscapes.
Our Philosophy
Impact & Responsibility
True to our belief that design must create a positive impact, we commit to practices that honour people and planet:
- Contributing financially to the sources of our inspiration - the natural biospheres and cultural custodians we draw from.
- Embracing sustainable materials and processes wherever possible.
- Creating a stimulating and supportive environment for our staff and collaborators.
- Support Local Industry. Evolution’s founder has worked alongside South African manufacturers for over 35 years. We remain committed to supporting the local textile industry and the skilled specialists whose craftsmanship brings each Evolution piece to life.
