Umthi dining table

The X is all about showing off the natural raw edge directly opposed to the refined architectural edge. The clear perspex shows how we can exist in harmony with nature by combining natural and man-made into one. Nature invisibly rounded of by the manufactured both elements relying on each other to result in a functional piece. The design is solid and void.

DESIGNER

Wilh van der Merwe, owner and architect at Wilh + Co, is passionate about space: spatial architectural development, as well as furniture and interior pieces to fill those spaces with life, texture and soul. Wilh believes in designing and bringing unique decor pieces to the market and is inspired by nature and sustainability – with a touch of glamour. Wilh’s designs incorporate connectivity to the earth and wholesomeness, with a focus on the tactile experience of the design.

THE UMTHI SERIES

The Umthi series finds its inspiration in the beauty of the natural and the crisp edge of the architectural line. Nature’s fluid beauty meanders through the sophisticated manufactured line like moulded lava. The gift of the natural tree is celebrated in every piece to reminds us where we come from while the refined silky edges talks to our appreciation for the luxurious.
