		<description><![CDATA[The exclusive BOOK XVII brings the rare opportunity to savour an opulent wine, the most exceptional of South Africa’s Bordeaux-style blends. The release of its 10th vintage marks a decade of meticulous handcraftsmanship. It has been an exceptional ten years for the acclaimed BOOK XVII, with the 2019 vintage yielding the most spectacular and distinct vintage De Toren Private Cellar has produced yet. To bid farewell to the end of a successful decade while embracing the next, the 2019 vintage is enrobed in stunning new packaging. This includes the redesign of its gift box, label, iconic key and wooden frame in which the wine is safekept, all elevating the release to even greater heights. BOOK XVII is ever in pursuit of the exceptional; the magnificent new packaging is a sumptuous hint at the pleasure within and the rich history behind it. Like the wine itself, the label is bespoke and crafted by hand. It features an original illustration by renowned international artist Steven Noble, created using an ancient engraving technique and inspired by the narrative of BOOK XVII. Here, the labour-intensive age-old handicraft of Noble’s artistic medium echoes BOOK XVII’s own method of its creation, and is a nod to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South African design duo – Douglas &#38; Company, launched the first items in a limited edition range at the recent 100% Design South Africa. The latest addition to their family of furniture features McSorley’s Wonderful Saloon (trolley) and Professor Seagull (bench). Conceived as playful, yet useful pieces, the items still holds a steady dose of utility to remain handy. The bench includes a hat and coat stand, earmarked for an entrance hall or visitors area, and the trolley has a bottom grating for glasses, and a folded steel tray for your favourite tipple. A black steel angle frame holds natural stone (marble or granite) and American White Oak inlays for both. Both pieces have wheels to ensure the items can be moved around as needed.
