GROWN FOR SA DESIGN.
Clout/SA was born inside one of South Africas most iconic restaurant brands to shine a light on the country’s rich local design industry. In 2018, we launched the Portal to Africa – a curated online marketplace featuring SAs premier designer lighting, furniture and accessories.

Our vision is for the industry to emerge as a distinct global design brand combining South Africas legacy of craft, heritage, and storytelling.
