		<description><![CDATA[Paul Cocksedge announced his first ever project in South Africa, during Design Indaba’s annual conference on Friday 28 February 2020. The internationally recognised British designer is creating a permanent timber bridge across the Liesbeek River in Cape Town, within the public open space of the The Upper Liesbeek River Garden. It&#8217;s Cocksedge&#8217;s second project to explore the use of wood and its environmental credentials – following on from his Please Be Seated installation at London Design Festival 2019. The bridge is being developed in collaboration with Design Indaba, WSP and building company XLAM. It will be made from the invasive Eucalyptus tree wood, offsetting its negative effects by using it as a building material. The species originates in Australia but was brought to South Africa in the 1800s for use as shade, windbreaks and plantation timber. The tree can, in fact, negatively impact the water table. Cocksedge plans to work with X-Lam to turn the Eucalyptus tree into Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) – a structural, prefabricated timber panel which is a more sustainable alternative to concrete, masonry and steel, requiring less water and less energy to manufacture. The timber is glued in longitudinal and transverse layers, which creates a very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Design Indaba 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of this flagship platform. It’s a time to celebrate the journey from a humble South African conference to a globally renowned ‘Think tank – Do tank’. These 25 years include the 10&#215;10 Low Cost Housing Project, catalysing Africa’s first museum of contemporary art, the majestic Arch for Arch on the oldest avenue in South Africa, founding Africa’s most prolific creative incubator: the Emerging Creatives programme (propelling the careers of over 500 creatives), and realising over 250 impact-led projects. But Design Indaba does not see the anniversary as a time to lean back, rather as a time to look ahead. Continuing to ask, as per its founding mission: how do we build a better world through creativity? With roots firmly planted in Africa, Design Indaba remain steadfast in the belief that creativity can be the X-factor that elevates this nation and those throughout Africa. Where to start? It is well accepted that tourism has been a silver lining in a lukewarm economy. Tourism is an impetus for radical growth. Tourism is one of the major players in international commerce, and represents one of the main income sources for many developing countries. South Africa has one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Design Indaba&#8217;s annual endeavour to find the Most Beautiful Object in South Africa manifests as a competition open to public votes and an exhibition. The competition has been running consecutively for the last 13 years, with this year’s iteration supported by Mercedes-Benz South Africa. A range of ten incredible designs were nominated by 10 public personalities, with each vying for the coveted title. The Delicate Bracelet, which was nominated by Blessing Ngobeni, was voted in as the uncontested winner by members of the public. The Delicate Bracelet was made by the non-profit community project Izandla Zethu that is based in Walmer, Port Elizabeth. The NPO creates employment and develops skills to empower young people. The bracelet is made using corrugated iron, a material commonly used to build shelters in informal settlements. It symbolises the transformation of poverty into beauty through creativity. “Other than the fact that it is handmade from recycled material, I like the fact that it is made from corrugated iron sheet – a piece of material that we, as South Africans, are familiar with and many of us hold dear,” explains Ngobeni. “The material of the bracelet got me thinking about the meaning of beauty, and even adds to my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Jim Brett and Ed Gray decided to launch a sister property to their exclusive-use Villa Maison Noir in Hout Bay, Cape Town, it was with the intention of creating yet another sanctuary-like space that was inspired and informed by the natural beauty of the bordering Oudekraal Nature Reserve and surrounding areas. To bring this vision to fruition, the couple earmarked a plot of land right next door to Villa Maison Noir and dreamed of replacing the drab 1970s-style building housed on the site with something much more memorable. Their wealth of interior experience, passion and expertise stood them in good stead to dream up a property that would do justice to the astounding setting. Between them, Brett (previously of Anthropologie and West Elm) and Gray (who founded luxury furnishing store Bruges Home) have a passion for design and art. This new project provided the perfect blank canvas on which to continue the creative journey they started with Villa Maison Noir. Like Villa Maison Noir, Villa Verte – so called for its densely treed setting – was to be a showcase for exciting furniture design, artwork and craft. But first, the structure had to be conceived, and to achieve this, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The start of a new decade has brought with it a wave of inspiration, and with that a collection of new designs from renowned South African lighting company willowlamp. The Radial is one of the new pieces making its design debut this year. In the spirit of evolution, founder and creative director Adam Hoets has built on some of his existing designs with new interpretations stemming from these existing pieces. ‘The Radial is a logical extension of the Lineal – essentially a round version of this piece,’ says Hoets. The Lineal – one of the brand’s most contemporary and more recent pieces, plays with a more minimal and pared-down aesthetic, an example of how the designer has steadily developed willowlamp’s identity. The inspiration behind the Radial hails from a similar source to the Lineal – which comes from the idea of creating a textured grid around a repetitive matrix of lights, and adding chain in layers and in different metallic finishes to add a richness and warm glow. Like virtually all of willowlamp’s pieces, The Radial also draws on the natural world. ‘The Radial refers to the eternal, cyclic ring of life,’ says Hoets. The pervasive popularity of curvaceous shapes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To mark the 25th anniversary of the renowned Design Indaba Conference, the Nando’s Design Programme, Clout, has honoured the founder of this world-class event, Ravi Naidoo, with an annual residency programme in his name. The announcement of the new Ravi Naidoo Residency for Emerging Creatives was made at the recent Design Indaba Conference, which took place from 26-28 February 2020 at the Artscape Theatre Centre in Cape Town, and was broadcast via simulcast to Johannesburg, Durban, Potchefstroom, Port Elizabeth, Namibia and Nairobi. This year, and each year going forward, Clout will select one stand-out creative from the Design Indaba Emerging Creatives class of that year to be the recipient of this Residency. The Design Indaba Emerging Creatives is a longstanding programme spearheaded by Design Indaba and supported by the Department of Arts and Culture. Each year, the Design Indaba selects a class of 50 successful applicants who receive a plethora of support, advice and benefits from the Design Indaba. This ranges from return flights to Cape Town from their home city, and accommodation for the duration of Design Indaba, to tickets to attend the Design Indaba simulcast in Cape Town, the exhibition and display of their work during the Design [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Building on last year’s triumphant debut at Milan Design Week, the Nando’s Design Programme, Clout is returning to the Italian design capital with groundbreaking South African design. Once again, the intention is to showcase the country’s creative pedigree to an international audience. The 2020 venture builds on the 2019 concept. This was first conceived and curated by award-winning designer Thabisa Mjo of Mash T and brought to Milan with the support of Nando’s Clout. Mjo’s Sacrosanct (an interactive pod of spaces filled with work by various local talent) highlighted the cutting-edge aesthetic, conceptual and collaborative strengths of young local designers. Sacrosanct wowed visitors to the Ventura Future BASE exhibition venue with its graphic, colourful and dynamic representation of South African creativity via powerful pieces with an Afro-positive message and contemporary bent. This year, Clout &#8211; whose goal is to uplift local design and establish South African design as a globally recognized category &#8211; returns with the same vibrant attitude in the form of a stand that builds on the initial concept of collaboration, but adds further designers and broadens the scope in the form of fresh new talent. ‘We want to share our positive stories with the world.

		<description><![CDATA[AAAA, a co-operation of artisans from Mali, is launching a pop-up exhibition of contemporary African designs based on traditional techniques in collaboration with Cécile &#38; Boyd. The display will run at Cécile &#38; Boyd’s landmark Kloof Nek Road destination in Cape Town, presenting an opportunity for local interior designers, decorators and art lovers to experience leading decorative homeware from the continent. The pop-up will open to the public from 26 February 2020 onwards and will run for two weeks. AAAA and Cecile &#38; Boyd will present a concise collection of handcrafted Textile Totems that will be showcased to the South African market for the first time. Playing on a love of symbolism and design, AAAA stands for Atelier Autodidacts Anti-Algorithms. The co-op aims to celebrate traditional artisanal methods, which includes championing the original Malian textile artform of Bogolan. Bogolan (which means made of mud) is a traditional handmade Malian cotton fabric (called finimugu) that is dyed with fermented mud. AAAA incorporates Bogolan, also known as Bògòlanfini, into their designs and textures, and it is some of these works that will be shown in Cape Town. Visitors can expect to see an edited selection of striking Textile Totems in eight distinct [...]]]></description>

Neutral tones create an atmosphere of tranquillity and peace but neutral tones in your kitchen space also make for an easily adapted space that can transform from traditional to country to contemporary.  Earth tones and the warmth of wood and stone, along with the rich patina of various metals, combine to set the harmonious mood you require. At Decorex Cape Town you can see this in action via the exciting Trend Kitchen feature, brought to you by Cosentino, that will dish up the best directional design and serve as the launching pad to showcase how you can transform your kitchen space with simple muted tones with the use of the company’s Dekton Slim line. &#160; Trend Kitchen by Cosentino The Trend Kitchen feature will highlight the best across various aspects of kitchen design – from surfaces that combine inspiration and function, to spaces that blend living and working zones into one seamless and aesthetic whole.

		<description><![CDATA[Designer, creative strategist and entrepreneur Antya Waegemann is good at complex community-based problem-solving. Her academic background could have propelled her into academia – she holds a Masters in Liberal Arts from Harvard University in Corporate Sustainable Innovation – but her passion for helping others has seen her throw her weight behind tackling pressing gender issues. In 2019, she graduated from the MFA Products of Design programme at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where she worked on a year-long thesis exploration entitled ‘When No-one Believes You: Redesigning Rape Kits and Responses to Sexual Assault’. As part of this exploration, she has become a sexual assault advocate at the New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and has designed six different products, services and apps that aim to solve the problem of how the US and other countries respond to sexual assault and sexual assault survivors. Her ingenious products and services include Hark, a speculative over-the-counter post-rape health kit and rape kit service, and RN Advocate (RNA), a rape kit for emergency-room nurses, for which she won the 2019 Graduate Design Award from ICFF x Interior Design magazine during NYCxDESIGN Week. Her SAFE is a ‘911’ app for [...]]]></description>
