		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A recent showcase of classic and contemporary Herman Miller furniture pieces at the Greenhouse restaurant celebrated enduring style and taste. Seating that allows for both great comfort and productivity is so important that the South African government has just passed new laws to ensure employees don’t have to endure dodgy ergonomics in the workplace. One imagines iconic industrial designers Charles and Ray Eames would approve. The pair believed that furniture needed to be as functional and playful as it was good-looking, as the inviting folds of their famous lounge chair and ottoman attest. This and other mid-century classics, such as the duo’s striking moulded plywood chair, stood elegantly at ease on the borders of a summer lunch at the Greenhouse restaurant in Constantia in December. Hosted by global furnishing company Herman Miller, the media event was an informal ode to much-loved favourites from its Classics Collection, with a nod to some newer design stars. All items on show are available in South Africa through local distributor All Office. Something old, something new Regional manager Robert Reilly was on hand to recap a little of the illustrious 100-year-old-plus company’s history. The Eames were engaged by the firm’s first design director, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For 2020, the three invited curators of the annual Design Indaba Emerging Creatives programme constitute a thrilling trifecta of top local talent. The responsibility for selecting the Emerging Creatives Class of 2020 falls to milliner Crystal Birch, conceptual art director Mokoena Kobeli and furniture maestro Siyanda Mbele. First up is creative force Crystal Birch, whose varied skills across the spectrum uniquely equip her to mentor and guide young creatives. Known primarily for her millinery business, Birch also has extensive experience in styling, art direction and set design. She studied fashion design at Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion in Stellenbosch and spent time honing her skills under the guidance of Noel Stewart and Piers Atkinson, two of Europe’s topmost hat-making talents. Since then, she has forged a path of her own and her irreverent and fanciful hats have come to adorn the heads of South Africa’s most fashion-conscious. Joining Birch in the lineup is Mokoena Kobeli. The Joburg-based conceptual art director, graphic designer and illustrator graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Johannesburg’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) and continued to study at leading international and national creative institutions, from the School of Visual Arts (New York) to [...]]]></description>

Having established itself internationally as one of the premier multidisciplinary programmes in the world, it consistently draws the globe’s luminaries to its stage. But it’s not just inspiration for inspiration’s sake that the conference advocates. With ‘a better world through creativity’ as their guiding principle, founder Ravi Naidoo and his team have continually shown their commitment to positive change through design-led thinking. In line with this powerful impetus, they’ve created a legacy for including speakers in the programme whose work seeks to better the world we live in – whether through technological advances, environmental advocacy, or simply social change that fosters healthier communities. The event can boast star-studded speaker alumni &#8211; leaders and achievers in a variety of fields – that constitute the who’s who of international design.
