		<description><![CDATA[Following a dazzling display at Decorex Cape Town, Cosentino is bringing its Atelier Cosentino stand to Decorex Joburg. The 30th-anniversary edition of this renowned event is taking design to new heights, and the leading Spanish surfacing brand is joining the celebrations. At Decorex Cape Town in June, Cosentino debuted its spectacular collaborations with Capetonian furniture design brands Haldane Martin and MŪVEK. Atelier Cosentino at Decorex Joburg will see the return of Haldane Martin’s designer furniture, plus a brand-new collaboration with The Grand Living. Located in the dedicated Kitchens &#38; Bathrooms hall on Level 0 of the Sandton Convention Centre, this exciting display of cutting-edge furniture design is set to be a highlight of the Joburg show. Haldane Martin, the eponymous brand of premium outdoor furniture designer and director Haldane Martin, is known for its strong visual identity and South African character. Following its debut at Decorex Cape Town, Haldane Martin’s brand-new Dombolo outdoor table will be displayed for the first time in Joburg. This voluptuous piece, named after the Xhosa word for dumplings, is topped with Cosentino’s Dekton Umber from the Kraftizen Collection, a durable engineered stone with a hand-plastered stucco surface effect. Paired with intentionally oversized legs, this table’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is the perfect accompaniment to a home office. Why focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health is a must Written by Rebecca Greier Horton, Workplace Well-Being Knowledge Lead at Herman Miller Self-care has been a hot topic in 2020. And now, given the fact that many of us are working from home, it’s even more important. How do we look after our mental, emotional, and physical health while trying to manage the challenges of working remotely? When it comes to WFH, comfort is key. Take time to set up an ergonomic home office. This will help prevent the musculoskeletal disorders that can occur when you work on a laptop for long periods of time, and it will increase your cognitive engagement. So, where to start? Light It Up Select a spot where natural light is your primary light source. Research indicates our sleep cycles and even our hormones are positively affected by this. If your setup is near a window where you can let the fresh air circulate—even better! Police Your Posture Remember that bad posture still counts when you work from home, and that how you sit today will shape your body forever. It’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ZEELAND, Michigan - Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLHR), the global designer and furniture manufacturer, announced today it has acquired the remaining shares of contemporary British furniture designer naughtone for approximately $46.1 million. Solidifying its ownership of naughtone directly aligns with Herman Miller’s strategic priority to accelerate profitable growth. Herman Miller partnered with naughtone in 2016 by acquiring a 50 percent stake in the company to help enhance its global offering in ancillary and collaborative furnishings, an area in which Herman Miller saw significant growth potential. As a result of this partnership, naughtone has generated average annual sales growth of 35 percent over the past three years. This partnership has helped Herman Miller expand its product design and development capabilities, fueling 11 new product launches and leading to numerous design and innovation awards. &#8220;naughtone has been a vital strategic partner in growing Herman Miller Group’s ancillary product offering,&#8221; said Andi Owen, Herman Miller President and CEO. &#8220;I’m so proud of our shared values, as well the modern aesthetic and contemporary British design they bring to our family of brands.&#8221; Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, naughtone was founded in 2005 and has grown rapidly in the collaborative furniture market under the leadership [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tell us a little about yourself? I am a Durban-based interior designer with a love for travel and diverse cultures. Growing up in Durban, I was fortunate enough to be constantly exposed to different cultures and people. I also have a passion for history and architecture; I feel that there is so much to be learnt from the past when proceeding into the future. &#160; What are your plans and aspirations for the future? In the future, I hope to continue to represent South African interior design and inspire people through my work. I particularly enjoy working on hospitality projects and hope to get to a point in my career where I get the opportunity to design interiors and manufacture furniture more frequently within this sector. I also hope to continue designing furniture, create fresh conceptual ideas, and find creative ways for material usage. &#160; What impact do you hope to have in the world of design? I hope to show other young women that this industry can drive women’s success and recognition on a local and international level. I also hope to educate people on what our industry is actually about because there is a misconception that interior designers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Iconic industrial designers Charles and Ray Eames left an astonishing legacy behind. Aside from their stylishly functional furniture, their mid-century modernist home – at once residence and studio – comes under the spotlight this year as it celebrates its 70th anniversary. It was in this house that some of the designers’ best-loved furniture was created, with a number of items available to South African buyers through local distributor All Office stocks, courtesy of the Herman Miller Collection. Classics like their elegant ottoman chair and stylish lounge chair continue to grace local homes, and fans can visit the Eames House in the Pacific Palisades, California, to see where it all began. This famed property, built on a eucalyptus grove on a 1.4-acre plot, was finally granted National Landmark status in 2007. It attracts a large number of visitors – house walkthroughs are arranged by the Eames Foundation. The house started life as Case Study House No. 8 – Charles and Ray Eames designed it as part of a programme envisioned by Arts &#38; Architecture magazine. The idea was to create a structure that expressed modern living using materials and techniques arising from the Second World War. In a 1945 design brief, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LEAN  The LEAN side table is a simple interlocking construction of three elements. The two vertical and diametrically opposing elements of the timber base slot into one another, each supporting the other; each unable to stand without the other. The circular top, which can be of glass, stone, brass, is a at disc that sits in a recess provided by the timber base. The beauty of the table lies in its simplicity, in the reliance and relationship of one form upon another to create the whole. It is an assembly of simple elements, a visual haiku, the fewest amount of syllables expressing the maximum emotion possible. Available in a range of timbers and with options of glass, stone or timber tops, the LEAN side table is a succinct expression of the relationship between form and material.   MAGNIFICO “Nature provides us with expressions of beauty beyond our own creation, this is the essence and function of the Magni co table.” The MAGNIFICO collection of tables focus on the beauty of natural materials and their inherent unique qualities. The material palette is raw, yet sumptuous, the materials express themselves with complete clarity.   RATIONAL “I wanted to create the simplest table I could, going through a complex [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adam Court, responsible for all furniture design by artisanal luxury brand OKHA, immediately fell in love with the “Verde Magnifico” marble when he saw it; the marbles visible layers of history speak to OKHA’s South African locality of cosmopolitan, polyglot and multi-cultural charm. Court conceived of Magnifico side and Magnifico coffee table together. A pair of hand-crafted tables, whose varying sizes and weights represent OKHA’s small artisanal position as well as its global expression; their irregular shape of perfect triangle and perfect square cut off at the edges are testament to the vast natural geologic surroundings of Cape Town and South Africa which inform OKHA’s design process and choice of materials. Marble is a metamorphic rock; it forms the backbone of empire and artefacts, it is created when sedimentary limestone is compressed by movement of the earth’s crust; the intense heat and pressure causing the stone’s crystals to grow and interlock forging a new and denser type of stone, marble as we know it. The Magnifico Coffee table’s Mars red “Flame Travertine” distinctly reveals the original sedimentary layers, most likely deposited by hot springs.  Made from the wood of the Larch tree, a conifer dominant in the boreal forests of Siberia and Canada, the table legs are over-scaled, intentionally [...]]]></description>

OKHA operates out of Cape Town, where its design studio and gallery are housed and through artisanal craftsmanship, attention to quality and a unique approach to design its work is sought throughout the world, from China to Sweden, which is why it made sense to have the OKHA Curated Collection represented in one of the world’s leading design capitals.

Add more to your collection as you go, or take it all apart and bolt together a new design as your lifestyle changes.

		<description><![CDATA[Global design manufacturer Herman Miller, Inc. has unveiled a new Aeron chair that is now available in South Africa exclusively through long-term local distributor All Office. The Aeron chair first launched in 1994 and was unlike any chair the world had ever seen. Instead of a padded throne, designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick did away with foam and fabric to create a true machine for sitting. Uniting human-centred design with Herman Miller’s leadership in innovative technology and materials, Aeron quickly became the best-selling and most recognisable performance chair of all time. With over 7 million sold in 134 countries, the chair is a vital tool for users around the globe and holds a rightful place in popular culture. Herman Miller’s new Aeron retains the distinctive silhouette of the iconic chair, but every component of the design has been updated to raise the bar for performance seating. With the input of original co-designer Don Chadwick, and a dedicated team of scientists, engineers, materials specialists, and researchers who worked on the project for over two years, Herman Miller has enhanced the chair by combining the latest insights in anthropometrics and ergonomics with two decades of advancement in materials, manufacturing, and technology. The [...]]]></description>
