		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s most creative young design project has just been revealed: the overall winner of the inaugural PPC Imaginarium Awards was announced on 05 March 2015 in Cape Town. The competition announcement took place at the Youngblood Foundation Gallery on Bree St, and the event formed part of the popular First Thursdays initiative. In its inaugural year, the PPC Imaginarium has sought to establish and unearth unknown creatives across six disciplines (film, industrial design, fashion, jewellery, architecture and sculpture). The competition received a staggering 477 entries from South Africa’s best and brightest designers and artists, who all used concrete as a medium of expression. Winners in six categories  were carefully selected and their work showcased at the UJ Gallery in Johannesburg. Thereafter the exhibition, which was curated by Stephen Hobbs, travelled to the Design Indaba Expo in Cape Town where it was put on display for the duration of the event from 27 February 01 March, before opening at Youngblood until 28 March 2015. The overall winning design – a concrete speaker &#8211; comes from the industrial design category.

In recent years, as the cultural trend has shifted towards an increased green awareness, natural and organic finishes have to come to the fore in interiors. With their interior scheme and exterior treatment for new restaurant Bocca, on Bree St in Cape Town, Inhouse Brand Architects has successfully fused these two aesthetic directions to present an “organic industrial” look that is both appealing and up-to-the-minute. The functional severity of the industrial look is warmed and softened by the use of natural materials. It’s all very now – and wow! Bocca is the latest venture of well-known food and wine fundi Neil Grant, with his business partner Barry Engelbrecht. Grant’s other establishment, the award-winning Burrata, which is located in Cape Town’s Biscuit Mill, was also designed by Inhouse. This time round, Inhouse Creative Director Aidan Hart and designers Ernst Frame-Tolmie and Becky Kriedemann took their cue from the bustling Bree St dynamic, and neighbouring haunts, before framing their design solution. A hipster playground, Bree St attracts a sophisticated urban set and plays home to destination stores and trendy restaurants. Bocca&#8217;s Interior But Bocca is set to please.
