Renowned South African designer Haldane Martin has once again pushed the boundaries of contemporary furniture design with the Dombolo outdoor table collection. Inspired by traditional Xhosa dumplings and crafted with a unique blend of industrial and organic elements, these sculptural tables are a testament to Martin’s innovative approach to functional art.
A Bold Fusion of Industry and Nature
The Dombolo dining and coffee tables are instantly recognizable by their oversized, rounded legs—crafted from industrial dairy tubing, a high-grade stainless steel piping commonly used in the dairy industry. This robust structural choice is contrasted by tabletop surfaces made from Dekton Kraftizen by Cosentino, a premium engineered stone that mimics the soft, plaster-like textures of handcrafted materials.
The result? A harmonious balance between strength and softness, where the precise geometry of industrial materials meets the fluid, organic aesthetics of nature.
Sculptural Elegance for Outdoor Living
Designed specifically for outdoor environments, the Dombolo tables reflect the effortless elegance of Cape Town’s lifestyle, where modern design meets breathtaking natural landscapes. According to Haldane Martin, these pieces embody a relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic, evoking the natural forms of amoeba-like cells.
“A Dombolo dining table overlooking the ocean is the embodiment of the Cape Town lifestyle—an expression of the brand’s ethos blending nature and culture,” says Martin.
Customization: A Palette of Possibilities
One of the defining features of the Dombolo range is its extensive customization options. Buyers can tailor their tables to suit individual tastes, with:
- 10 neutral shades of Dekton Kraftizen for the tabletop
- 24 powder-coated color options for the steel legs
This versatility makes the Dombolo collection a perfect fit for various architectural and interior styles, whether in coastal villas, urban rooftop terraces, or boutique hospitality spaces.
Premium Materials for Longevity and Style
Crafted with durability in mind, the Dombolo tables are built from high-quality materials that withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
- Stainless Steel Legs – Industrial-grade dairy tubing provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
- Dekton Kraftizen Tabletops – Engineered to be highly resistant to UV rays, stains, and temperature changes, ensuring long-lasting beauty.
