Bieke Casteleyn

Fueled by a vision to redefine the dining experience, Bieke set out to create a table that breaks boundaries and challenges tradition. With its skillfully designed organic contours, Out of Line soon became an icon of Belgian refinement and craftsmanship. One that has been translated into a carefully considered collection of functional objects. We welcome a selection of unique new pieces to our showroom this spring, each with a natural and imperfect character.

OKHA

OKHA is a boutique furniture design studio based in Cape Town. Recognised for its exploration of organic form, texture and noble materiality, OKHA’s aesthetic inspiration echoes African topography, terrain, and iconography in designs that are a hallmark of Creative Director, Adam Court’s vision for an abstracted or sculptural interpretation of Africa’s natural order. The Cut Forms Side table is a bright and beguiling addition to OKHA’s side table collection.

Bocci

Bocci is a multidisciplinary design studio, research lab, and factory built around the core design principles of Omer Arbel. As makers, Bocci push the boundaries of design through experimentation and research. Unforeseen outcomes are at the heart of their process, embracing the beauty of unpredictability. This spring we welcome a selection of new beautiful designs to the showroom, which explore innovation and natural beauty.

Giopato & Coombes

Architects and designers Giopato & Coombes are known for their bold, ambitious approach to design. Their boundless creativity is evident in every fixture, transforming marble, brass, and glass into extraordinary works of art. Through material and technical innovation—including 3D printing and aeronautical-grade stainless steel—their designs achieve an ethereal, floating quality. We’re delighted to welcome some of their latest creations to our showroom, including the exquisite Maehwa Chandelier.

Giorgetti

Another new addition to the Tollgard showroom, Tollgard & Castellani’s exclusive first works for fine furniture maker, Giorgetti. The Chanterelle collection of low tables evokes the graceful upward flow of the forest gold from which they take their name. A slender base balances a generous top, expressing lightness through equilibrium. An iconic, contemporary, and rigorous design finds form in Giorgetti’s masterful hands.

Alabastro Italiano

After years of experience in the family business, which specialises in design and lighting, Riccardo and Alberto Ongarato found the brand Alabastro Italiano. Each project is conceived and designed to give a strong sign of recognizsability and uniqueness. The Aura is a unique pendant light made from alabaster, and inspired by the idea of wind, a whirlwind emblematic of its circularity in perpetual motion.

Tollgard Lighting Highlights – Lights to brighten up your day

Featured in the Design Centre’s Lighting by Design showcase, Tollgard is proud to offer a curated selection of some of the finest lighting brands in the world. From the gentle yet captivating glow of Bocci’s handblown glass spheres to the strongly simple forms of American studio Juniper – the opportunities to excite and illuminate are endless.

Bocci 28 Table Lamp

The 28 Table Light originated from a fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere that houses an opaque orb of light that emits a gentle yet captivating glow. Founded by Omer Arbel in 2005, Bocci has become more than just a maker of beautiful glass luminaires. It brings together architecture, sculpture, invention, and design as each piece artistically and poetically explores the medium of light.
