Notes

EE Meyer was a prominent South African furniture designer and manufacturer, celebrated for his high-quality craftsmanship and elegant design.

The Binnehuis furniture stores were located in Cape Town and Somerset West, and were owned by a Dutch businessman and his wife, Mr and Mrs van Ewijck, who moved between South Africa and the Netherlands. It seems they were most prolific during the 1960s .
