Design Toolkit

we do big

Hotels. Restaurants. Student housing. Large-scale, high-spec
projects — we’ve done them, and we love them. From manufacturing
and installing 1,000 kitchen units on an active building site,
to furnishing 50 apartments for a Cape Town hotel, we get the
job done. On time. On budget.

We also offer turnkey solutions throughout South Africa and are
fully clued up on APGs, construction guarantees and all the
practical bits.

It’s always best to chat early in the process—but if you’re
further along, don’t stress. We’re happy to jump in whenever you
need us.

Who are We

If we haven’t already met, hello. We’re Dokter and Misses, a
Johannesburg-based design studio led by Adriaan Hugo and Katy Taplin.
Our backgrounds in Industrial and Graphic Design merge in a shared
love for experimentation, play and innovation.

We design everything from one-off collectables to mass-produced
pieces for institutions—and everything in between. After more than 15
years, we still finish each other’s sentences. Our work continues to
evolve, but one thing stays the same: we design with feeling. Think
colour, character, and sculptural function. Always something a little
unexpected.

Customise any Product

Need something bigger, smaller, softer, sharper? Let’s do it.

We invite you to customise our standard products to suit your project.

Choose from:
A wide range of powder-coated colours
Various timber, stone, fabric and glass options
Custom sizing to suit those tricky spaces.

Have something else in mind? We’re always open to collaboration.

dam aftercare

We’ve been doing this for a long time — and so have
our products. Life happens. Things scratch. Things
break. When it does, we’re here.

We offer a repair and refurbishment service on DAM
pieces. There’s a small charge, but it’s a
sustainable way to refresh your favourite items and
keep them in play for years to come.
