Beke
Beke means 'peace' and 'to be connected to'. The Beke dining chair design supports an ergonomic and aesthetic sense of peace, and at the same time a sense of connection with the space at the table. The design respects the simplicity of the Danish Modern philosophy, and yet incorporates a shaped solid hardwood seat and back; integrates South African Cape Dutch architectural motifs with a sweeping architectural profile; and uses a clean ash frame to showcase the richness of local and international hardwoods.
Beke Dining Chair by John G Williams has been highlighted as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Beke Dining Chair won the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2019. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition which rewards exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
