		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with Plascon’s 2023 theme, ‘Bringing it Home’, this year’s colour trends are looking inwards to our homes, family and friends. Summer saw sun-drenched naturals beaming their way onto our walls, while autumn brought transitional emotions to life with decorative pastels. &#160; Now, as temperatures drop, Plascon is introducing its Graphic palette, comprising a combination of monochromatic urban hues and sleepy darks that engender feelings of comfort and serenity. &#160; In search of wellbeing, we look closer to home: to our native environment, our culture, our loved ones, and of course ourselves. This approach echoes the Danish concept of ‘hygge’ (pronounced ‘hoo-gah’), which is, in essence, fostering qualities of cosiness and comfort to enhance our wellbeing – think cosying up under a down duvet while rain patters on the roof, reading a book next to a roaring fire, or warming our insides with a steaming cup of tea. &#160; Plascon’s new winter Graphic palette features a selection of cool neutrals, distinct contrasts and rich pigments that foster this harmonious hygge-full environment without forfeiting bold design potential. &#160; Set the tone for the season with an assortment of gentle neutrals that provide the ideal base for interiors. The cooler grey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most South Africans don’t have to deal with extreme winter conditions like snow and blizzards, but that doesn’t mean that the colder temperatures don’t take a toll on our properties. &#160; You’ll know that the harsh South African sun beats down on exteriors, fading that magnificent paint job — but have you thought about winter conditions like wind, rain and cold? Drastic variations in temperature, from hot to cold or vice versa, can cause surfaces, and the paint coating them, to expand and contract. If you don’t use high-quality, durable exterior paint, these fluctuations can even cause the paint to chip, crack or peel off. &#160; Plascon’s iconic Micatex paint is a UV-resistant water-based coating enhanced with a unique combination of special-grade mica for stretch and marble for strength that provides its signature WeatherTough ProtectionTM. The paint film of Plascon Micatex is two times thicker than that of conventional paints, and 23% tougher than a leading competitor, making it an ideal choice for protecting exterior walls from the elements. &#160; South Africa has a diverse climate that requires diverse approaches to winter-proofing. Winter temperatures may reach freezing point at high altitudes, such as in cities like Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Polokwane [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We experience and adapt to all sorts of changes in every-day life, whether it is a simple change in weather or unexpected life events. Adjusting to change can be challenging but it is also inevitable and part of being human. With change also comes growth and transformation. This upcoming winter, Plascon is encouraging us to do something different and venture out of our comfort zones. Plascon’s Colour Advice team has come up with a new palette, Vivid Evolution, that offers a rich narrative featuring deep and sumptuous colour combinations that will dramatically change the way your favourite space makes you feel. Vivid Evolution ushers in peace and encourages quiet moments of reflection. The soft, stylish and neutral grey colour of Plascon Serious (EC 37) works well for both interiors and exteriors. It is a versatile colour that blends in and complements almost any setting. Plascon Timeless Classic (P4-D1-1) is a mid-lavender hue with a neutral undertone, a perfect shade to use as an accent colour, to make you feel pretty and light-hearted. In addition, lavender hues are known to support healing, calmness and renewal and are linked with perception, higher consciousness and insight. &#160; Bring balance into your life with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greenhouse is offering a compelling winter special to keep you warm in the cold months ahead. The award-winning, fine-dining restaurant has launched a new three-course set menu available for dinner only, from 01 June to 31 August 2019. The full tasting journey is still available during this period. The Winter Special is a carefully edited dining experience that starts off with the Greenhouse’s famed amuse-bouche that set the tone for the meal to follow. These complimentary, bite-sized snacks are followed by two starter options: gamefish with lime, dill, liquorice and kohlrabi; or XO pork with erynjii mushroom, spring onion, ponzu and dashi. The main meal presents a choice between the “tshisa nyama bokkie” with sweetbreads, carrot, cashew, pap and morogo; or, sustainably sourced scallops, with wild rice risotto, pea puree and garlic sake sauce. Figuring out what to have for dessert is a challenge, when you have riveting options such as “the beet” encompassing beetroot, hazelnut, coffee, chocolate and cherry; or, the pineapple passion, with yoghurt, coriander and lime. The meal is concluded with petite fours. The three-course meal including amuse-bouche and petite fours is R650 per person. There will be an additional wine pairing option for R350 per person.
