The Tondo Table, a sculptural cork side table.

This concept has been evolving in our studio for some time. While we’ve created similar pieces before, we never had the opportunity to properly document or share them. The Tondo Table allowed us to revisit the idea, refine the form and develop it into a considered addition to our collection.

The piece features three solid cork legs with softly rounded edges, supporting a circular top with a solid 12mm n**e porcelain inlay. The contrast between the textured cork and the textured porcelain surface creates a strong sculptural presence.

We love the honesty of this piece. Simple in form, organic in shape and thoughtful in its use of materials, it reflects our ongoing exploration of cork as both a natural and architectural material.

Designing the Soma and Terra planter collections for INDIGENUS Planters has been one of the most rewarding and long-standing collaborations of our studio. The Soma collection was designed in 2014, followed by the Terra collection in 2017.

When I first started working with Indigenus, the brief was to create a collection that felt sculptural yet timeless. I was inspired by the quiet strength of tree trunks and the way natural forms feel grounded without demanding attention. That thinking became the foundation for Soma.

The name Soma comes from the Greek word for “body” and, in botanical terms, refers to the physical structure of a plant: its stem, leaves and roots. The planter was designed as a grounded architectural extension of this living form, allowing the plant to remain the central focus.

The response to Soma was incredible and naturally led to the development of Terra, whose name comes from the Latin word for “earth.” Building on the same design language, Terra introduced solid Iroko timber bases that lift the glass-reinforced concrete planters from the ground, creating a lighter, more architectural presence while remaining connected to nature.

For me, the success of both collections comes down to collaboration. Working with Indigenus allowed us to combine thoughtful design with exceptional craftsmanship, international marketing and distribution, resulting in pieces equally suited to residential landscapes, hospitality projects and public spaces.

Years later, Soma and Terra remain part of the INDIGENUS Planters collection, and I am proud to see these designs finding homes in projects around the world.

Our Cork Low Stool with Backrest is a compact, clean design.

Manufactured in Cape Town from 100% organic, completely recyclable cork composite, it is available in both light and dark cork. It’s designed to suit a wide range of interiors, from hospitality spaces to residential projects.

The backrest structure is fabricated from electro-galvanized mild steel and finished in a durable black ferrograin powder coat. Each stool is fitted with a custom steel kick plate, while the timber backrest is crafted from solid hardwood and finished in either matte black or natural timber. The natural timber option is sealed with a satin varnish.

Currently on display in our showroom. Get in touch to find out more about the collection.
