		<description><![CDATA[Plascon is proud to introduce the newly launched Plascon Store, an e-commerce platform tailor-made for retailers and contractors. In 2020, the leading coatings brand debuted its new visual identity and a plethora of advanced products. Continuing the path of reinvention, Plascon is the first in its sector to provide a Business-to-Business digitally optimised platform. Plascon’s retailers comprise leading hardware and home improvement stores such as Mica, Builders Warehouse, Buco, and Makro, who then on-sell the brand to their own customers. They form a significant part of Plascon’s success as they stock its coatings, extending the brand’s distribution line and allowing wider accessibility of its products. The Plascon Store was conceptualised and developed because Plascon wanted to improve existing communications with its existing retailers, as well as provide a digital-forward response to business dealings that was optimised for both the time of social distancing, and the future of commerce. “The process of consulting and ordering can become quite laborious when exchanging documents and awaiting feedback from customer care agents. Lockdown regulations and the ongoing threat of further waves of COVID-19 means face-to-face meetings are no longer a viable option either,” comments Plascon’s head of marketing, Suvasin Moodley.

		<description><![CDATA[Named for the surrounding dockyards and located within view of the picturesque tugboat moorings and the waters of Cape Town harbour, The Yard is an exciting new hybrid concept store-cum-bistro-bar that is set to become the go-to retail and dining experience of the recently launched Silo District at the V &#38; A Waterfront. The Yard will shine with carefully selected options that cater with style to both local and international visitors, as well as the surrounding local businesses and residents. And there are choices aplenty! There’s a retail zone featuring curated displays of urban-friendly homeware and accessories, which merges seamlessly with a delicatessen purveying fine chocolates, preserves, charcuterie, home-made pasta, and farm-fresh cheeses. The deli also incorporates a food-on-the-go section with an array of smoothies, and house-made iced teas and flavoured water, as well as Rosetta Roastery Coffee. It’s ideal for grabbing a quick cuppa, a bite at lunchtime, or powering up after a workout &#8211; after all, The Yard is located directly below the Virgin Active Collection Silo District. Just alongside the deli and coffee bar, is a fresh salad and warm buffet section with an offering, which changes daily. The buffet is located adjacent the main bar, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What happens when international trends find their African mojo? A compelling retail offering, that’s what! It’s to be found at artisanal estate Spice Route in the form of recently launched destination store, The Trading Company. An outstanding array of exclusive local designs awaits: all have been handpicked and developed to showcase how appealing European styling can be when it’s modernized with a contemporary African flavour. The Trading Company offers an exuberant and heady retail experience where beautiful merchandising and interior styling combine with exquisite products that are awash with local colour. And this retail offering is as vibrant and dynamic as The Trading Company’s proprietor, Abigail Bisogno. Formerly the MD of the Foschini Division of the Foschini Group, Abigail left behind 35 years in corporate retail in order to purchase Spice Route farm together with her brother, Charles Back, who also happens to own Fairview, the renowned cheese and wine estate alongside Spice Route. Abigail has been responsible for the creative direction and project management of all the renovations and additions at Spice Route, but The Trading Company is her own special “love” project. The shop is an outlet for the fabulous flair and drive that, right from the start [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Business of Design, the conference aimed at creatively revolutionising the way you work, returns to Cape Town and Johannesburg this October for its Spring 2015 edition. This third installment of the bi-annual programme boasts an all-new talk schedule, including first-time Business of Design speakers and fresh topics, with the Cape Town conference hosting guest international speaker Jim Brett, President of West Elm, the US-founded homeware retail store. Business of Design is a two-day conference led by top industry experts and design professionals to guide, inspire and offer practical tools to change the way people do business. Says Co-Founder Laurence Brick, MD of Platform Creative Agency and Creative Director of 100% Design South Africa: ‘We’re proud to already have had 69 of South Africa’s best minds speak on our stage during the previous two conferences in both cities. The networking that has taken place between them and the over 500 alumni delegates we now have has been invaluable.’ ‘Business of Design appeals to all industries,’ adds Co-Founder Trevyn McGowan of Source, Southern Guild and GUILD. ‘We’ve not only had designers and architects attend, but people from retail, accounting and marketing.
