About Justin Vickers

Welcome to my world, where I combine the South African spirit with my love of beautiful interiors for the country’s most discerning customers.I always imagined running my own business one day, which is why I began my career at Wetherly’s, once one of South Africa’s premier furniture outlets. Here, I developed my love for luxury furniture and décor while honing my sales and management skills, which I carried over to Coricraft South Africa. After a year of travelling the world on cruise ships, selling jewellery, and generally having an awesome time, I returned to South Africa and started the JVB Furniture Collection with my long-time mentor, James Smith, the Previous CEO and partner of Wetherly’s. Our showroom is curated and styled in room sets, presenting a selection of interior installations that clients and local interior designers can use for inspiration or buy outright.Although running a successful company in South Africa presents unique challenges, especially with high-end furniture like ours, the people we work with make it worthwhile. We value the relationships with our talented furniture designers and manufacturers, experienced showroom staff, and interior designers who start their shopping journey here.When new clients walk through our doors, meet our excellent staff, and see our selection of bespoke furniture and décor accessories, they feel right at home and quickly start calling us ‘their best kept secret’.South Africans have a unique way of building a community; you can find even more of that unique charm when you step outside. South Africa’s natural beauty and wildlife often attract my attention, making me believe in the local conservation efforts of organisations. I’ve been honoured to be involved with the Koru Camp Team because they are an organisation connecting local communities with their natural heritage. Their mission is to inspire a new generation of conservationists who will cherish and protect these precious ecosystems.As a proud local business owner, I draw inspiration from South Africa’s beautiful scenery and the sense of community that surrounds us. Our relationships with local interior designers and clients help us bring visions to life and craft beautiful interiors.Feel free to connect with me or have a coffee at our showroom before filling your home with furniture that embodies the South African spirit.

  • Wetherlys
    Regional Sales Manager
    Wetherlys Jun 2002 - May 2006
    Wetherlys was a high-end furniture retail brand in South Africa that operated privately until it was sold to the Ellerines Group in 2005. Known for its upscale offerings, the company ultimately suffered from mismanagement. It was eye-opening for me to see how a corporate takeover could destroy such a strong company and brand in a short period.I learned from this experience of a company being mismanaged, carrying over the improvements to starting my own business later on. The company was my entry into the world of furniture. I started as a salesperson, then moved on to become a manager, and eventually a Regional Manager. I was amazed at the demand for stylish furniture and how much Wetherlys sold. It was my first experience with a successful furniture retail brand. I learned many valuable lessons and worked with wonderful people, many of whom are still in the industry today.
