His brightly coloured portraits certainly stood out the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in London in October last year, garnering positive responses from international art lovers and critics alike.

Nando&#8217;s and the Spier Arts Trust returned to the acclaimed fair in 2022 as sponsors, bringing Tega’s work to this international stage.

		<description><![CDATA[The South African design industry is at an exciting point in its evolution. Every year a new crop of names emerges to show their talents to the world as local design is increasingly spotlighted on the global stage. The Nando&#8217;s Hot Young Designer Talent Search (HYD) plays a key role in this ongoing industry development by functioning as launching pad for fresh young talent. Now in its fourth iteration, HYD aims to unearth saucy new designs for Nando’s restaurants around the world, and fire up the careers of emerging local creatives. The popular competition, which is facilitated by Clout/SA, has just announced its much-awaited list of 10 finalists for 2022. HYD tasked young designers with conceptualising a condiment unit to display the brand’s acclaimed Peri Peri sauces. The challenge was to do so in such a way that these sauces and their piquant ingredients, which form an intrinsic part of the Nando’s experience, remain visible and accessible to customers throughout their visit. The competition received 134 entries from across the country, making the judging process a tough call for the adjudication panel. The finalists were chosen by a prestigious panel of local and global industry judges including Director of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After an intensive judging process, the winners of the Nando’s Hot Young Designer (HYD) Talent Search have finally been revealed. Design duo Nikhil Tricam and Nindya Bucktowar, have been named as 2022’s winners. The announcement was made on 26 October 2022 at this year’s Basha Uhuru youth festival at Con Hill, Johannesburg. &#160; Together, Tricam and Bucktowar are the owners of Kalki Ceramics, a design studio based in Durban specialising in bespoke handcrafted ceramic tiles. For their winning entry, they looked to South African flora and desert landscapes for inspiration. Their Cactus Server draws on the duo’s combined experience in ceramics, product design and architecture to create a rich and textural functional art piece. “Utilizing Kalki Ceramics tiles in unique glazes reminiscent of fynbos, succulents and flowers endemic to South Africa, the Cactus Server blends contemporary form with organic materials and motifs to create a uniquely South African design,” says Tricam. Being named as winners of the Nando’s HYD 2022 will open up new business opportunities for Tricam and Bucktowar including having their piece prototyped and included on the Nando’s Portal to Africa, an online ordering and purchasing platform utilised by interior design studios locally and globally to source South African designer items [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beyond being the country’s leading furniture and lighting design competition, the Nando’s Hot Young Designer (HYD) talent search competition has evolved into a highly effective platform for helping young designers transition their work from conceptual design thinking to actual marketable products that can be manufactured and sold at scale. From 6pm to 7pm on Tuesday the 28th of September, Clout/SA, which facilitates the HYD competition, will host a webinar using HYD as a case study on the practical evolution of design products from concept to actual. Clout/SA creative director, Tracy Lynch, and editor, Malibongwe Tyilo, will be in conversation with HYD 2020 winner, Katlego Tshuma, HYD 2020 top ten finalist, Anele Vezi, and Dokter and Misses co-founder, Adriaan Hugo. Tshuma recently collaborated with Hugo to bring his winning Sangu Bench concept to life, while Vezi collaborated with Mpho Vackier, the founder of award -winning studio, Theurbanative to bring his Mbokodo bench concept to life. Titled Process of Design Collaboration, the conversation will focus on how each of their processes unfolded, from concept to manufacture. The designers will share insider info that relates to collaboration and the making of commercially sustainable furniture pieces. “There’s a difference between rendering a design and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the foreseeable future, social distancing will remain on the menu for the restaurant trade. The challenge this presents for sit-down establishments who want to create superlative experiences for diners while adhering to health and safety regulations, calls for innovative thinking. Nando’s Design Programme Creative Director and the founder of Studio Lee Lynch, Tracy Lynch perceived that social distancing requirements presented an opportunity to engage with designers to find solutions. So, at the start of the global Coronavirus lockdowns in 2020, she started working on a series of screens and furniture accessories that would not only serve to make social distancing a bit more intuitive, but would also provide as enriching an aesthetic experience as possible. These designs were included in the Nando’s Portal to Africa &#8211; https://bepartofmore.com/public/products &#8211; and made available to purchase by over 2 500 Nando’s restaurants across the globe. Over the past five years, together with Nando’s Property Director, Michael Spinks, and with the full support of Nando’s, Lynch and her team developed the Portal to Africa as an online marketplace that connects South African designer-makers to interior designers working on Nando’s restaurants around the world. Thus far, the project has been incredibly well received in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Nando’s design programme, Clout, is making waves for established and emerging creatives from South Africa – and the world is taking notice. Nando’s restaurants are well known globally, thanks to their distinctive flame-grilled chicken – but the chain is also becoming renowned for its staunch support of South African design. Nando’s’ progressive design programme, Clout showcases the work of local creatives to the world – most notably by featuring their designs in Nando’s restaurants throughout 35 countries. Patrons will immediately recognise the colourful, vibrant design aesthetic for which South Africa is becoming famous. The story begins in 2015, when Creative Director Tracy Lee Lynch, the founder of Studio Leelynch, redesigned the multifunctional Central Kitchen – aka Nando’s HQ in Johannesburg. Accustomed to curating brand spaces, Lynch transformed the space with the work of more than 50 local designers, reinvigorating it and persuading Nando’s that a home-grown aesthetic was what was needed. “At Central Kitchen you will literally feel Nando’s,” company co-founder Robbie Brozin asserts. Nando’s proceeded to throw their weight behind South African designers – not just having their designs transform the restaurants, but actively seeking new design talent with the aim of developing them further and exporting a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot off the press! Clout / A heartfelt celebration of South African design is a gorgeously curated design compendium sharing the collaboration between Nando’s design programme, Clout, and established and emerging creatives. South African design is thriving as never before – in part due to the support of Nando’s notable design programme, Clout, which showcases a host of creatives on its various platforms. The global restaurant giant is one of the biggest exporters of local design – its support for the industry extends to its Hot Young Designer competition, the print magazine Clout, and the online catalogue and purchasing platform Portal to Africa, which has facilitated more than R34m worth of design sales to date. In July last year, it spearheaded Nando’s Business Development Support Initiative to support design businesses. &#160; “As a business in South Africa, we are mindful of the need to create employment opportunities for young people as well as offer ongoing hands-on support to SMEs,” says Michael Spinks, Nando’s property and development director. “We are proud to boost the design sector by facilitating exposure to global opportunities.” To enhance its print oeuvre, Clout has brought out a gorgeously curated design compendium of the work and big [...]]]></description>
