What to expect at Fourteen Monkeys Emporium

Founder Linda Huddy spent years designing and collecting before opening Fourteen Monkeys Emporium, and the store reflects that approach: pieces are chosen carefully and individually, meaning most items are one-of-a-kind and sourced through a network of makers and dealers built up over time.

“I’ve been designing and collecting for years, and what I’ve learned is that the best objects find you,” says Huddy. “Fourteen Monkeys is built on that idea: every piece in our shop has a reason for being here, and I want Joburg shoppers to walk in and find something they didn’t know they were looking for.”

Their buying philosophy is what differentiates the space from other local lifestyle and homeware retailers. Linda selects each piece individually to ensure a distinct design point of view and rarely repeats the pieces.

Alongside the homeware offering, Fourteen Monkeys carries a curated selection of high-end wines sourced globally. Linda also offers interior design consultations for clients seeking a personal touch on decorating their chosen curiosities in their home
