Interior design studio OKHA and celebrated multi-disciplinary artist Atang Tshikare aim to communicate personal and intimate narratives through the mediums of art and design with this collaborative collection, which we previously featured here.

While OKHA conceptualises and designs contemporary, hand-made pieces with a respect for materials and traditional craftsmanship, Atang works with varying materials such as ceramic, fabrics, wood, bronze, plastic, paper and glass. His avant-garde approach and dream-like narratives define his style and his creations, which are often anamorphic and zoomorphic sculptures based on African storytelling. His creative expression is displayed in a broad range of designs, from African-inspired sculptures and graphic patterns and illustrations to contemporary design.

Featured here is the Metsing coffee table, the Noga standing lamp and the Kaggen side table.

“Searching for a balance between each creation is a thoughtful process which requires me to re-position my thoughts on the direction of my narrative, following a flow of sequences, like one defined limb following another,” says Atang.

The Metsing Coffee table is made from solid cast patinated bronze using the Lost Wax method and the inserts are tinted kiln-cast glass. Metsing translated means “place of water” and the coffee table has been shaped around the concepts of flow and movement of water.

The Noga Standing lamp is made of obeeche wood, leaded gunmetal bronze and stainless steel components. The Noga imitates the moves of a serpent swaying.

The Kaggen side table, inspired by a Praying Mantis, is made of solid cast patinated bronze and the inserts are made of tinted kiln-cast glass.
