Haldane Martin

Our very own furniture guru...Haldane Martin. His pieces speak for themselves. They do inspire worship. And as you may faint from desire I thought I'd focus on the chairs.


'Baba Papa Lounger' | 60% recycled stainless steel | "inspired by smooth, water worn pebbles"

'Simplicity Chaise Lounge' | Eco friendly indigenous Nguni hide | "simplicity of form and detail...create a sense of stillness"

'Stealth Chair' | Anodized aluminum sheet | "aggressive, masculine, armoured form...to weather the storms of economic instability"


'Songololo Couch' | Leather & stainless steel | "inspired by nature's creepy crawlies"

'Weightless Tub Chair' | Recycled stainless steel & laminated plywood | "an exercise in the ecological principle of maximum resource efficiency"

'Zulu Mama Café Chair' | Recycled plastic & stainless steel | "exploration of indigenous Zulu basket weaving technique...baskets express the archetypal feminine activity of gathering"


"As a contemporary designer I try to meet the needs of the whole human being by designing furniture that is simultaneously meaningful for the spirit, beautiful for the soul, and nurturing for the body." Martin
