To own this server is to own a piece of heritage. A single slab of the jackalberry stump was rescued from a raging fire and lovingly crafted into geometric shape. The burn marks and knotted wood are strikingly displayed along the dark-brown slab and the exceptional joinery adds a simple but elegant final touch to this masterpiece. The server will be equally graceful in displaying your family photographs and hosting a colourful bunch of flowers.
This young and inspiring designer studied industrial design at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. After completing his studies, Darren spent a year as an FGASA (Field Guide Association of South Africa) field guide – and this is where his love and appreciation for nature developed into a yearning to work with wood. He was destined to meet Gys Potgieter, who was soon fascinated and impressed with Darren’s passion for craftsmanship and design talent. This remarkable partnership in Kuni has realised Darren’s dream of designing unique, one-of-a-kind and high-end furniture.
