Oval dining set by Marc van Rampeberg for Rampelberg Designs, Kenya Afrik.

Oval dining set by Marc van Rampeberg for Rampelberg Designs, Kenya, Africa. This sculptural set consists of an oval dining table and two matching semi-circular benches. Made from solid Mvule wood (also known as Iroko), the set features a warm, rich hue and a fluid organic shape that highlights the natural grain of the material. Each piece is entirely handcrafted in Kenya and can be described as sculpted rather than merely constructed. Skilled artisans shape the wood by hand, resulting in soft curves, balanced proportions, and a tactile surface that reflects both precision and tradition. The set is marked at the base, confirming its authenticity. Marc van Rampelberg is a Belgian designer known for his deep connection with African craftsmanship and materials. In the 1990s, he founded Rampelberg Designs, working closely with local artisans in Kenya. His approach combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship techniques, placing a strong emphasis on natural materials, sustainability, and timeless form. Over the years, Rampelberg Designs has gained a reputation for producing distinctive and collectible furniture pieces that blur the line between functional object and sculpture. This rare set was acquired in Kenya by previous owners who lived there for several years and was later brought back with them to the Netherlands. The set is in very good vintage condition.
