Lot Essay

Designers Norman Meyer and Abrie von Wielligh here chose to work with Panga Panga, also known as African Wenge, for its uniqueness, warm tones and for its grain that perfectly complements copper inlays. Its design was inspired by the leaves on the floor of the Knysna Forest, a sanctuary surrounding their studio in the picturesque Garden Route in South Africa.
