FROM ARCHITECTURE TO ART - THE EVOLUTION OF TOO DESIGNS

Before landing in Australia back in 2018, we spent a good 17 years running an architecture practice in Pretoria, South Africa.

About a decade ago, we were on the hunt for unique designer gifts for our clients but came up short. Frustrated with the lack of quality and unique options, we decided to take matters into our own hands and started designing our own wall clocks. Surprisingly, they became a hit, and we found ourselves turning our passion into a successful side business.

Fast forward to 2019, and we made the leap from architecture to art and design with the launch of 'TOO designs'.

Despite the shift, our love for art and design stayed strong, heavily influenced by our architectural roots.
