How Mink Works · Cape Town
Process
One hand,
the whole way
through.
Mink was founded by Sihan Wiid in 2007 and works out of Cape Town. The studio takes a space from the first conversation and the design through to the finished room – layouts and joinery, furniture and lighting, and the site itself.
Sihan Wiid
Founder · Interior Designer
Sihan leads Mink Interiors from Cape Town, bringing together creative vision and hands-on project management from concept to completion. From the first meeting and site survey, she develops the layouts, mood and overall design direction, then manages every detail. From joinery, fixtures and finishes to soft furnishings and décor, suppliers and installation, staying closely involved throughout the project and on site until the very last piece is placed.
Her approach is both creative and practical: creating considered, beautiful spaces while ensuring that every element is thoughtfully coordinated, expertly managed and brought together seamlessly. Sihan was featured on kykNET’s Die Ontwerpers, and her Lexus Design Pod won at Decorex Johannesburg in 2024.
Defining the Project
It starts with a meeting – your vision, your needs, your personal style – and a detailed survey of the space itself. Together we define what each area has to do, and accurate measurements and plans become thoughtful layouts tailored to it, whether residential, commercial or retail.
Concept & Design
The concept comes to life through floor layouts, mood boards and visualisations, with the budget refined alongside. Mink presents one cohesive scheme – layouts, mood, colour palettes, bespoke joinery, lighting, fabrics and furniture – balanced, functional and aligned with your vision.
Project Managing
Mink manages every aspect of the build – tendering and selecting the best suppliers, sourcing and procuring materials and key pieces – resolving issues along the way and handling the close-out details, through to a flawless finished space.
Not a look applied
to a room.
A room built
around the people
in it.
Each space begins with what is already there – the architecture, the people who live in it, and the materials and details that suit both. There is no house style waiting to be applied.
Your space,
our next conversation.
