The vision began with Paul Nel, a passionate craftsman and entrepreneur, who always wanted to establish a company that combined craftsmanship, creativity, and sustainability.
However, with his time dedicated to running his successful construction and development companies, the dream remained on hold — until his son, Marco Nel, decided to bring it to life. With a shared passion for quality and innovation, Marco Nel took the step to buy out and transform Rustic-Eco into the dynamic company it is today.
At Rustic-Eco, we identified a gap in the market for value-for-money carpentry and joinery services - where exceptional craftsmanship meets affordability and reliability. We pride ourselves on turning our clients’ visions into reality. Whether it’s built-in cupboards, custom kitchens, reception desks, entertainment areas, or shopfitting for restaurants and bars, our skilled team brings precision and passion to every project — both commercial and residential.
In addition to our joinery services, we also design and create custom furniture pieces for our clients, including limited-edition, one-of-a-kind designs released each year — pieces that are as unique as the people who own them. At Rustic-Eco, we don’t just build furniture and fittings
At Rustic-Eco, our vision is to become South Africa’s most trusted and innovative carpentry and joinery company— known for delivering timeless craftsmanship, sustainable design, and exceptional value-for-money carpentry services.
We strive to transform every space we touch into a true reflection of our clients’ dreams by blending creativity, precision, and passion in everything we do.
Our goal is to continuously grow while remaining rooted in quality, honesty, and the personal touch that defines the Rustic-Eco name.
Our mission is to design, manufacture, and install high-quality custom joinery and furniture that exceeds our client expectations in both residential and commercial projects.
We are dedicated to offering value-for-money, personalised service, and superior craftsmanship - ensuring that every project, from kitchens to reception desks, shopfitting, and bespoke furniture, reflects Rustic-Eco’s excellence and individuality. Through innovation, attention to detail, and sustainable practices, we aim to make Rustic-Eco a symbol of quality and creativity in the carpentry and joinery industry.
