Dokter and Misses, "Kasena Horseman", Desk

About the Item

Adriaan Hugo and Katy Taplin are the couple behind Johannesburg’s Dokter and Misses. Inspired by the idiosyncrasies of their surroundings, their modernist furniture pieces with angular lines have a boldly upbeat energy. Building on its revered Kassena series, named after the Kassena people, as an ode to the architecture constructed by men and hand painted by women, the horseman bench-cabinet has two parts, one fitting over the other like a man riding a horse. One side serves as a chair with backrest and the other is designed as a two-seat bench. It has a fold-out desk, four drawers on two different planes and a secret compartment.
