Hertex, South Africa’s leading textile and lifestyle brand, has officially opened its flagship showroom in the Sibaya Coastal Precinct. This milestone marks a significant step in the company’s growth strategy in KwaZulu-Natal, and reinforces the precinct’s reputation as a premium coastal lifestyle and investment destination. The project was a collaboration with Devmco Group, the master developers behind Sibaya’s integrated live-work-play vision.

Thriving coastal destination

The Sibaya Coastal Precinct has become one of South Africa’s most dynamic coastal developments. Combining residential, commercial and retail spaces, it focuses on wellness and modern living. Devmco Group, known for delivering over R8bn in developments, has positioned Sibaya as a design-driven hub. Their HQ Sibaya project exemplifies this vision, blending lifestyle, business and wellbeing.

Design-focused showroom

Hertex’s new showroom is more than just a retail space. It has been designed as a destination for inspiration and collaboration. Developed by Hertex’s in-house team alongside Craft of Architecture (COA), the showroom features a refined coastal aesthetic with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Key highlights include:

• A signature rug gallery showcasing Hertex’s craftsmanship
• An extensive materials library for designers and developers
• An expanded HAUS homeware experience exclusive to this location
• A dedicated outdoor living zone reflecting coastal lifestyle trends
• A purpose-built trade workspace for design professionals

The showroom honours Hertex’s 40-year heritage while embracing contemporary coastal design, perfectly aligning with Sibaya’s identity.

A shared vision

Klaus Herrmann, Hertex’s Sales Director, highlighted the alignment between Hertex and Devmco’s focus on long-term value creation. He noted that the precinct’s design-led ethos complements Hertex’s premium brand philosophy. Brad Winstanley, Devmco’s Commercial Director, emphasised that the showroom serves as a hub for design exploration and collaboration, adding value beyond retail.
