MELT BED
Tropicana
Palm trees hum,
colours collide,
Geometry
with a seaside vibe.
Tropical tones,
With sunset in their
bones.
Who We Are
Founded in 2007 by industrial designer Adriaan Hugo and graphic designer Katy Taplin, Dokter and Misses is a Johannesburg-based multi-disciplinary design studio. Born from a shared vision of functional artistry, we make furniture, lighting, and objects that challenge conventions and reinterpret everyday forms.
Each piece is a testament to our belief that design should be both beautiful and practical—objects that live with you and make a statement.
Deep Design
Design is at the forefront of what we do – we make pieces that are original and that make people feel something.
Forever and Ever
Made from the highest quality materials, our products are built to last a lifetime. If they don’t, we offer repair and maintenance support that’ll hopefully revive your faith in humankind.
People Pleaser
We strive to meet our clients' needs wherever possible. Most of our products are customisable in either a size, material or colour, which is why we manufacture to order. It’ll be worth the wait, we promise!

Craftmanship
