    Home & Garden Retail
    Our vision at Schots has always been to unearth the uncommon. We love to be inspired and travel the world to find the best in design, craftsmanship and materials (with a particular emphasis on natural and reclaimed materials). We search for fixtures and furniture pieces that speak to our inspiration. Pieces with personality.We look at the art, architecture and design worlds, both past and present, both locally and abroad, to gather our eclectic range. And if we can’t find the items that quench our inspirational thirst, we design our own and work with skilled artisans to fulfil our aspirations and produce products that we know will appeal to our customer’s individual creativity.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.
