Peter  MABEO Peter Mabeo is the founder of Mabeo in Botswana Africa. In 2006, following 10 years of making bespoke furniture for commercial customers in Botswana, he took initial steps towards creating a brand that would be the basis of realising his aspirations of making interesting products in a meaningful way with a focus on quality, craftsmanship, design, sustainability, culture and people.

Under his direction Mabeo furniture has ongoing collaborations with some of the most renowned international designers; as well as participation in highly regarded international design events such as Design Weeks of, Milan, London, Stockholm and at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York; where they have been honoured with awards, such as Best Craftsmanship and Best Furniture. Their products have received coverage in well respected international publications including Elle Decor, Wallpaper, New York Times, Fast Company. Peter s business leadership has also room Five Star Gaborone Botswana. Each of which were key to the establishment of the company as an international consumer and contract furniture manufacturer.

Based on his approach and achievements, he has been invited to speak at international events and conferences, both in the areas of design as well as on development. He is also an advocate of self expression, in the context of the rapid urbanisation taking place in Botswana and on the African continent as a whole. As a result,ongoing relationships have developed with like minded individuals and organisations such as Botswana International Trading Centre, United States Trade Hub, University of Botswana, Swedish Trade council, various NGO s, environmental sustainability organisations and small cooperatives.
