Anton Louw and Nico Hendriksz are the designers behind Kino, an award-winning Cape Town furniture studio known for minimalist, solid wood pieces crafted with precision and care.

School friends and alumni of Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch, the pair went on to study industrial design before turning their shared passion for craftsmanship into a studio that celebrates refined form, natural materials and thoughtful detail.
