from the editor

Welcome to the second women shaping design issue. The last time I introduced this issue, I prefaced it by saying that the objective was to start conversations around the intersections of gender identity, design and power – and to keep having them long after august. Well, very recently, I was having one of those conversations with another incredible woman, Boity – a self-made, one-woman empire in her own right – about the very thing that this issue is about: the machinations of power, who shares it and who holds onto it – guarding it – tightly. She told me how, even as a successful woman – and a woman of colour – having the power to speak freely, openly and to be heard was far from a given. That every…

The story of Water Dixon is a series of fortunate events, a happy collection of auspicious coincidences – you could even say it was written in the stars – that led to the founding of perhaps one of the most directional artisan studios to emerge in recent years. Co-owned by Cait Warther and Wendy Dixon, their eponymous-ish practice has brilliantly carved out a whole new niche in the collectable design space – that of mirror and light-based sculpture. Both Joburg raised, Cait, an English and Philosophy major at the University of Edinburgh before studying Architectural Lighting Design and Interior Design at Parsons, and Wendy, who has a background in brand communication and graphic design and holds a postgrad in business studies, met through a mutual friend. Though neither had a…

NANA O FORIATTA AYIM CURATOR AND ART HISTORIAN Take us through your background. I grew up between ghana, germany and england, studied russian and politics and worked at the united nations before doing a master’s degree in african art history. I have always been interested in the intersection of arts and politics or society, i.e. the impact and resonance art can have, whether through my writing, films or art historical and curatorial work. You have made award-winning films that have been shown at Tate Modern, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and The New Museum. What inspired you to explore merging filmmaking with these noteworthy museums? I started making films after working with the legendary filmmaker chris Marker and was inspired by the poetic nature of his films – the…

fewer than 100 people a day are permitted to trek into the mountain gorilla habitat in Rwanda’s Volcanoes national Park. But for those who do, ‘it is the most life-changing experience,’ says Ellen Degeneres, who first visited the region in 2015. Visitors are not allowed to approach the animals, but a silverback (mature male) once bumped into her sister-in-law by accident. ‘I was so jealous,’ Ellen recalls. ‘It is thrilling to be that close to them but knowing they do not want to hurt you.’ Now a 60th-birthday present from her wife, Portia de Rossi, has helped underwrite the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey gorilla Fund: a 12-acre complex dedicated to gorilla conservation. It is named for the TV star and her idol, Dian Fossey, the self-taught naturalist,…

Drawing Spaces, Designing Emotions (Rizzoli) Isabelle Stanislas’s interiors nod to historical sources while exuding a refreshing contemporary style. Known for her knack for subtly interweaving art, landscaping, architecture and materials, she has been regularly called upon by private homeowners and luxury brands, such as Cartier and Hermès, since establishing her firm in 2000. Most recently, the designer was tapped by the French president to breathe new life into the Élysée Palace, further elevating her stature. From architecture and construction to interior design and bespoke furniture, the renowned Paris-based architect and interior designer’s highly anticipated monograph explores the impressive breadth of her creative approach through twelve diverse properties. Defined by precision, minimalism and a unique take on French style, the designer’s modus operandi emerges from the pages of this dazzling volume.…

HERTEX Harlequin The latest from lauded house harlequin revisits the free-flowing Kineticism and abstract, graphic nature of traditional calligraphy in the ‘enigmatic’ range. Alive with movement, the large-scale brush strokes of ‘enigmatic’ twist and turn on a ground of embossed vinyl, making it both timeless yet undeniably contemporary. The design is available in two Colourways: the monochrome Japanese Ink/origami (pictured) and nectar/awakening, an ultra-luxe gold finish. 🖱 hertex.co.za HOME FABRICS Arte Each design in Arte’s décors & Panoramiques collection is as transporting as the next, immersing you in a fantastical landscape – maybe a scene from ancient mythology, a field of flamingoes or even the thick greenery of the amazon. Pictured above, ‘Terra Tropicana’ in golden sunset shows a fiery Brazilian dance, full of rhythm and connection with nature. And…

the three years with no show have witnessed an extraordinary strengthening of two gardening themes that dominated Chelsea this year: the garden as a place of solace; and as an extension of the natural world, without human intervention and representing the ecological threats of our times. Confirmation of the latter came in the award of Best in Show for the large gardens, which went to ‘A Rewilding Britain Landscape’, designed by Lulu Urquhart and Adam Hunt. It was the British equivalent of fynbos, its aim ‘to depict nature in balance’, and its centrepiece a stream with a dam of sticks built by beavers whose introduction to the landscape was the key ‘rewilding’ factor. There was woodland and meadow, planted only with native or naturalising plant species scattered thinly. Not everyone…

Winds of change

the world has changed over the past few years – and with it, our attitudes to just about everything. Our lives seem to have become more serious, so even our gardens, a source of great joy, are no longer merely light-hearted in conception but heading in a more considered direction. Gone are the days when gardens and plants were there for visual pleasure alone – or as superficial show pieces to augment equally showy homes. One could argue they still provide these functions but in a more complex and nuanced way. We desire our gardens to not only be beautiful, but to improve our world on many levels, be sustainable, bio-diverse, useful, educational and helpful to nature. This year, the overall winner at the Chelsea Flower Show 2022, the premier garden…

brigette ROMANEK

I think the thing many aspiring designers want to know is how do you get to making it in this industry? It is true when I say I never knew it could be a job. You know, I am a woman from the south side of Chicago, and it was a very different environment. You see, my grandmother worked in a factory where they made magazines. She would bring them home, and that was my introduction to interiors and knowing that people live in different ways. We also travelled a lot, my mom being a singer and a single parent, so I was always in a new environment. That was all happening in my makeup and shaping the chemistry of Brigette – the person and the designer. I got married,…

As this is your own house, you had the task of briefing yourself on the project. From the outset, what did you know you wanted, and how would you meet those demands? With small plots in the area of Bantry Bay, we were looking for a lock-up-and-go house, so there is no garden, just a lovely pool and a small exterior entertainment area. The house had a very uncool art deco feel that we needed to modernise, and we also needed to give each room its own en-suite bathroom and expand the public areas for open-plan living. The original house was built in the late ’80s, and we knew we needed to gut and re-design it completely, shifting and removing walls throughout to achieve a simple space for our family…

Winter is not a season that you immediately associate with the garden, but with growth slowed, and time with it, the dark months allow us the opportunity to reflect. There is time to think, without the need to necessarily do, and time to look at the bones of the garden without the demand – and indeed, the distraction – of the growing season. Winter is a time to consider the cycle that we are part of, by engaging in the gardening of a place. Though stripped of its summer cloak of vegetation, the apparent monochrome of a winter garden is anything but. Pared back, yes, but containing infinite variation and mutability. The images in this book allow you to see the nuances that are present once the growing season has…

summer THORNTON

Hard to pigeonhole, summer Thornton’s work is easy to appreciate. Typically, if such a word is applied to a designer who delights in surprising, her work can be described as courageous and Colourful. For a couple’s apartment in a significant architectural co-op building in Chicago, summer allowed her signature sense of wonder, sensory saturation and escape to unfold. Originally designed in 1931 by Rosario candela, the building has an important architectural lineage – a fact summer felt it was important to acknowledge. ‘We wanted to Honour that but bring a freshness to the decorating that made it feel current.’ Bridging past and present, as well as the pair’s divergent personal tastes, was a challenge the designer took in her stride. While he is something of a perfectionist and prefers order,…

To successfully translate the story of a home with one foot in the past and one in the present is a delicate business. If you succeed, it is like authoring a book whose beginning was written in a distinctly different era and crafting an ending for today that is not only coherent but also captivating. With roughly a hundred years from the beginning of its story to now, this graceful Westcliff home is a best-seller. Designed and later altered by architectural greats Francis Fleming and Philip Watermeyer respectively and set in one of Joburg’s most sought-after hilltop suburbs, giants of trees and an immense garden equate to rare peace. It was these traits, coupled with its generous scale and hard-to-replicate architectural details, that sold the owners, who ‘viewed’ and bought…
