Studio Note

A studio built on specialist craft, every weld, every cut, every fold.

Etherington is a specialist aluminium manufacturer shaping louvres, screens, composite panels and ceilings for some of South Africa’s most exacting architectural projects.

Every system is drawn, detailed and tailored to the application. We stand behind our work from the first shop drawing to the final install, treating the profile of a blade or the bend of a panel as seriously as the architect treats the brief.

Four decades of work sits behind the studio. The brief stays the same: elevate aluminium so it reads as architecture, not hardware.

Aluminium at scale, resolved with care.

Every sheet of aluminium carries a brief. We read it, we draw it, we build it.
