South Africa 1999 -

Notes

Named 2005's Most Beautiful Object in South Africa (MBOISA), the Hawker Bench is widely recognised for its striking sculptural elegance. As sturdy as it is stunning, it is not hard to see why it has become a South African design classic.

Founded in 1999 by Greg Gamble and Philippe van der Merwe, TONIC has produced a body of work spanning over two decades, that is undeniably current, enduringly classic and instantly livable.

TONIC is arguably one of South Africa's foremost furniture and interior design practices, with a portfolio and product line celebrated as much for its distinctive design language as for its uncompromising craftsmanship.
