		<description><![CDATA[A leading Durban interior designer driven by the satisfaction of his clients, Frans Alexander of Frans Alexander Interiors describes himself as a perfectionist: ‘I’m driven by the result and outcome of each project. Knowing that I have achieved the desired emotion is what pushes me to ensure every one of my clients’ experiences the sense of joy design can bring!’ Frans Alexander Interiors was founded in 2002 and the company works across Residential, Hospitality and Commercial projects. All projects tend to be led by a feeling, an ethos, rather than an aesthetic. ‘I believe that the key to each successful interior lies in the details and it’s there where I like to invest a lot of effort in order to achieve a well-executed space. The small details are what elicit an emotional response from a space,’ he notes. Over and above his own vision however, the designer aims with each project to reflect the client’s own viewpoint. ‘The goal is to create a space which is unique and reflects the homeowner’s personality, but one that is also functional, timeless and comfortable,’ he says. The satisfaction that comes from a job well done is something that inspires and motivates Frans Alexander [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Experience Cécile &#38; Boyd’s liveability and devotion to comfort at its two signature shops, which are located on fashionable Florida Road, Durban, and Kloof Nek Road, Cape Town, respectively. Both embody the ethos that company founders Cécile Tilley and Boyd Ferguson have instilled in these landmark retail destinations – the ‘high art of living well’ right here in South Africa.  Tilley and Ferguson established their first progressive retail space in Durban 30 years ago &#8211; back when stores were typically functional rather than homely. Although not uncommon today, the concept of styling spaces as if they were real lived-in rooms is something Cécile &#38; Boyd pioneered at a time when no-one else was doing it. This understanding of what resonates with people is what continues to set them apart and has made the company the industry leader it is today.  Established in a turn-of-the-century house, the Durban shop is deftly curated and generously stocked with Cécile &#38; Boyd’s trademark furniture, art and décor pieces. You can’t help but linger and prolong your shopping experience – usually over a cup of coffee or tea. The success of the Durban shop is what led to the introduction of Cécile &#38; Boyd’s interior [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The décor, design and media industries have spoken! Voted by a panel of independent judges, Plascon was awarded the best overall stand at the Decorex Best Stand Awards held in Durban on Wednesday night. The paint manufacturer transcended the three main categories in Best Plan and Build, Best Décor and Best Kitchen and Bathroom to emerge as the best overall stand amongst the event’s leading décor, design and lifestyle exhibition showcases. Applauding the striking Plascon stand, iconic Durban fashion designer and judge, Kathrin Kidger commented, “The stand’s bold beautiful colours and ergonomic, curved design drew me in while it was also true to the consumer with its individual approach. We could sit with a colour specialist and take away a lovely mini pot of paint to try at home. The whole concept was very clever and appealing.” The other judges included lifestyle and arts journalist, Estelle Sinkins, brand consultant Nicola Ashe and Angela Rossouw from the Change Design Studio. Ergonomic design, bold use of colour and interactive spaces are celebrated in Plascon’s stand design Designed by leading Cape Town business curators and brand builders, Platform Creative, the stand moves away from linear, hard surface interiors toward soft, feminine and curved interiors where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Known as the “Mining Artist”, Jeannette Unite travels around the globe and researches what she refers to as the industrial sublime. Mining the earth for inspiration, she brings its minerals to life by incorporating them into large-scale textured artworks on canvas and paper. Working with earth materials, mines and maps, Jeannette’s geological paintings and drawings incorporate the metals and matter that defined and continue to shape the mineral and industrial revolution. In March 2015, Jeannette will be participating in the “Blowing in the Wind” group art exhibition at the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts (KZNSA) gallery in Durban. The exhibition is curated by respected curator Carol Brown and aims to remind us how intolerance, fanaticism and violence have little changed since the 1960s.  Rooted in two famous song titles from that era – “Blowing in the Wind” by Bob Dylan and “Imagine” by John Lennon &#8211; the curatorial intention of this exhibition is to revisit these lyrics in the light of the last half century, where little progress has been made. The exhibition will run from 03 – 22 March 2015 and includes works by other artists such as Bongani Khanyile, Wonder Mbambo, Fran Saunders, Derrick Nxumalo, Paul Botes, Siobhan O’Reagain, [...]]]></description>
