Husband and wife team, Stanley and Aneleh Smith joined creative forces to start Anna.

Growing up Stanley has had numerous opportunities to get involved on farms, fixing cars, carpentering and basically anything you can do with your hands, which created the passion he has for manufacturing. Creating new things motivates Stanley and working with people to make their practical dreams a reality. He loves the outdoors and is always on the look out to learn a new skill.

Born in the Northern Cape and raised in the Western Cape, Aneleh grew up with a passion for design. Aneleh started making her own clothes, decorating their home and painting at a young age. It was while designing furniture for their home where Anna was born.

Their approach to life has always been different from the people around them and therefore drawing on each other’s unique strengths is how Anna has grown.
