Founded by designer Thabisa Mjo, the studio brings together technology and traditional crafts to tell uniquely South African stories, using the medium of design. Thabisa entered into the industry by impulsively entering the Nando’s Hot Young Designer Talent Search competition in 2015, where she won with her iconic Tutu 2.0 light. Over the years, Mash.T has subsequently designed full product ranges and won several awards, securing her name as one of the continent’s top design talents. Most recently, Thabisa has become the first South African designer to have two of her works, the Tutu Light and Mjojo Cabinet, be installed as part of the permanent collection at Paris’ Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts) at the Louvre in Paris, France.
