Founded in 2006 by Peter Mabeo in Botswana, Mabeo Studio bridges the gap between traditional African craftsmanship and contemporary design. Born from a desire to move beyond commercially driven ideas of success, the brand acts as a cultural translator, uniting local artisans with international designers to create meaningful, everyday objects. Mabeo’s core product lines feature sculptural hardwood furniture, such as the Lesire collection, which translates the delicate scalloped edges of South African lace crochet into solid panga panga wood. The brand’s aesthetic is defined by raw textures, pure materials, and a deep respect for heritage craft, appealing to an audience that values cultural genuineness and sustainable practices.
