'School of Life' is a side table, hand sculpted in a single piece of reclaimed mango wood. Peter sculpted this piece which depicts a single school of fish moving in one direction. Peter playfully brought his sense of wanting to do things differently to this sculpted form, "if you look closely you will find that some are swimming against the order...there are always some of us who choose to move against the trend and go in our own direction". 'School of Life' is a solid side table with a round glass table top, allowing the sculpture to be seen in all its glory, including the rippled top, which represents the surface of the water. In pursuing our belief that art should be accessible and fill homes with personality, Peter wanted this to be a statement piece of functional art that should be touched and bring something new to the eye each time it is viewed.

Based in The Netherlands, Peter works from his home studio. Partly growing up in West Africa without television, Peter relied on books, particularly about art, to feed his imagination. He used to sit and watch local artisans making their products using simple materials and loved the process of creating something with your hands. He moved to The Netherlands at age 14 and studied fashion and theatre. At home he started making sculptures from pieces of discarded wood and solidified his passion for wood as a medium when he worked in a team building an authentic reconstruction of a 12th century ship. Peter continues to work mainly in wood and is inspired by the beauty of natural flowing forms, which he aims to bring in to his artwork. He encourages the viewer to touch and feel his sculptures and thereby experience the heart and soul of each piece.
