Sesana Table by Mabeo Studio

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Sesana is a basic table that reflects the simple, often improvised approach to manufacturing in Botswana. The table is constructed using wood which would normally be put aside due to what is often considered to be aesthetic defects. A texture that accentuates, or in some sense, neutralizes the natural blemishes on the wood surface, through free hand grooving, is applied to the legs as well as to the edge of the tabletop. This visually rough texture, juxtaposed with the finely finished top surface and soft rounded edge on the long sides of the top, creates a simple and interesting piece that manages to straddle between being the most mundane of tables to being an art piece.

About the Maker

Mabeo

Designer-entrepreneur Peter Mabeo was born in the Botswana captial of Gaborone in 1971. In 1997, he began collaborating with local artisans to create custom-made design objects that reflect both Botswana craft expertise—woodworking, textiles, and basketry—and its culture. In 2006, Mabeo established his eponymous atelier—Mabeo Furniture—also in Gabarone. Since that time, the studio has collaborated with accomplished contemporary designers such as Patricia Urquiola, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Garth Roberts, and Luca Nichetto on sustainable, ethically produced pieces and interior design projects that celebrate Botswana craft heritage and support local artisan economies. Mabeo Furniture has moved a few times within the city of Gabarone in order to accommodate its growing demand for space and counts the Nobis Hotel in Stockholm among its clients.

Mabeo participates in a variety of international design fairs and exhibitions, including Milan Design Week, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, and the London Design Festival. His studio was awarded the ICFF Editors Award for Craftsmanship in 2006 and 2008, as well as the ICFF Editors Award for Best Furniture in 2010.
