The Miro Cloth | James Mudge Furniture Studio and Cape Town Furniture Week

A collaboration of contemporary local production; a traditional weave; a rhythmic yarn blend and the cloth it yields. For Cape Town Furniture Week, Mungo and James Mudge Furniture Studio present a collaboration grounded in shared values. Both originating from the Garden Route, their practices prioritise longevity, material integrity, and thoughtful design.

Bringing together a blend of cotton, wool, mohair, and silk

The Miro Cloth balances strength, softness, and durability. Mungo’s designer, Lenore, based the Miro cloth on a traditional weaving method, Overshot, that has been used in upholstery for decades. The strong graphic elements of the design bring together block and twill patterns, with wool in muted jade, grey, and sage providing the base, while mohair and silk lend playful pops of warmth, all coming together in a subtle surface rhythm.

“Combining multiple animal and natural fibres into one fabric felt like trying out a new recipe: cotton in the warp for strength and structure; wool and mohair to add warmth and durability, while silk gives smoothness and a subtle sheen.”

– Lenore, Mungo designer

Woven on Mungo’s modern looms, the cloth reflects our traditional weaving roots while leveraging newer technology to enhance both the design process and the finished cloth.

“I wondered what earlier generations would think of their old traditional weave brought to life on a modern loom.”

– Lenore, Mungo designer

Join us on opening night for bubbles and to see the Miro Cloth upholstered on James Mudge Furniture Studio’s contemporary wooden furniture.
