Peter Mabeo

Following 10 years of making bespoke wooden furniture for commercial customers in Botswana, Peter Mabeo built up a brand of his own in 2016. Mabeo harmonizes crafts and design quality, sustainability, culture and people. He has been collaborating with renowned international designers, as well as with African crafts men and women, cooperatives and small enterprises, always using design as a bridge between seemingly disparate cultures to create engaging and useful products or installations.

Mabeo participated in international events such as Design Weeks of Milan, London and Stockholm or at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and has been honored with numerous awards. His international commissions include furniture for 5 star design hotels in Stockholm and New York, hospitality projects, corporate office projects, pieces for galleries, and furniture tailored for celebrities’ homes in different countries. At the same time he continues connecting crafts and commerce or establishing relationships between organizations and individuals.

Most recently, he established an in house studio involving young designers in Botswana with the world of international design.
