What to expect at the V&A design bay

An appointment at our V&A Waterfront bay is a focused, practical session: you can see, touch and compare our felt samples for hospitality, restaurant and hotel use. Our team will walk you through finishes like Banquette Wrap, Acoustic Panel Felt, and Entry Mat Soft so you get a sense of texture, density and colour in person.

Lighting here is mixed, so you can compare how a sample reacts in both natural and artificial conditions, essential for public spaces that shift from day to evening. We keep the session tailored to your project, with advice on installation, care, and which felt types best suit high-traffic or acoustically lively rooms.

What to bring with you

To make the most of your appointment, bring as much detail as you can about your space and needs. This helps us recommend the right felt finishes and talk you through practical fitment advice.

We suggest sharing details ahead of time through our contact form, but bringing physical samples and printed information to your session is just as useful.

Homes and businesses we help at the Waterfront

The V&A Waterfront area brings together hotels, restaurants, galleries, retail pavilions and waterfront apartments, each with its own demands. Hotel and restaurant clients often need materials that stand up to salt air, heavy use and the Cape Town winter’s humidity.

We often help with felt banquette wraps for restaurant booths, wall and ceiling acoustic solutions to soften noise in busy spaces, and dense entry mats that trap grit from high visitor footfall. For homes, felt window seat cushions, desk mats and stair nosing are popular in apartments facing strong sun or coastal winds.

How to book your appointment

Bookings are essential, as we only host one appointment at a time to give everyone a proper, hands-on review. Use our contact form and mention the V&A Waterfront design bay in your message. Tell us about your project, space type and any questions you want to cover.

Once we receive your details, a team member will be in touch to confirm your date and chat through any specifics before your appointment. If you are working with an architect or interior designer, feel free to include them in your booking so everyone can join the review.
