This is a proudly South African design at its best, using all proudly South African materials: matumi wood, Rustenburg black granite and Kudu hide. The Kudu hide provides a gorgeous hue for the light and the intricate leather stitching decorates and ties the Kudu hide in perfectly with the matumi top and bottom. Small wooden highlights are inserted into the granite base to consolidate the piece.
