THIS IS YOUR VISI 101!

AFTER the enormous success of our bumper VISI 100 edition, it feels a little odd to produce our regular-size 192-page magazine again! But we have enjoyed creating a very inspiring Issue 101 for you to delve into somewhere cosy as the seasons change. Can you believe it’s April already and we’re two months into the Year of the Pig?

SHAWN SLOVO, SCREENWRITER This is VISI’s 101st issue. If you were to live to 101, what do you hope will have been invented by then? A deep-tissue robot masseuse. I’d never have to leave the house. Quoting Marie Kondo, tell us about a treasured possession that sparks joy? I would be very sorry to lose my modest Elsa Peretti diamond on a platinum chain, mainly because it is the only piece of jewellery I own. Describe a typical day in your life… Walk the dog. Write.

OFF-THE-GRID STYLE

Ever wondered why so many pro chefs prefer cooking with gas? For the most part it definitely has the edge over electric alternatives in supplying instant, highly responsive heat with total control for enhanced cooking quality all round, but it’s also reliable and, most importantly, highly efficient and the friendlier option for the environment. Electricity might offer you the convenience of unlimited access at the flip of a switch, but with the changing energy landscape, more and more people the world over are going green and switching to gas. And here at home, with rising electricity costs and supply constraints, gas cooking has become a fast-growing trend in making life without power that much more bearable. “For the environmentally conscious and style-centric homeowner, there’s no better solution than Smeg - and once…

OFF-THE-GRID STYLE

BRING the ultimate cheffing experience into your kitchen with Smeg’s effortlessly elegant Symphony cooker. You expect great design from Smeg, and this cooker most certainly delivers. Not only is it remarkably energy-efficient but you also no longer have to worry about dinner being spoiled due to load shedding thanks to a full suite of advanced gas cooking technology geared to bring the restaurant experience home for the creative cook. The extra-large oven features a double-fan airflow system, a rotisserie, and groundbreaking insulation technology. Combine the cooker with the additional accessories, including the 30 cm stainless-steel teppanyaki sear plate and ribbed cast-iron griddle, and you have a recipe for culinary success. The Symphony cooker comes in a range of colours, including fiery red, stainless steel, vintage cream, pastel blue and ice-white. smeg.co.za VISI…

UNCRATING THE ARTWORK

Space has never been important to me. The manifesto written by my 12-year-old self about my future digs featured a single garage with a single bed. The rest of the space would be taken up by my Porsche. Years of travelling and working in countries that aren’t always that easy to work in have taught me that I can be perfectly happy if you give me a corner, an empty 2 m x 2 m space and the promise that no one will touch my stuff. Perhaps that was because the space was temporary, or because I was in a known environment. Now, standing in our empty flat in Berlin, things feel different. When Germans move out of a flat the result is something that looks stripped to the core. This includes…

UNCRATING THE ARTWORK

A green pitched roof on a street named Green held the contents of my childhood for a little more than 15 years. Casually, my entire life at that point. I remember the last night we spent in our Kimberley home: The moving trucks had taken just about everything; all that remained could pass for road-trip essentials. I lay on my back on a fold-up camping mattress in the middle of my room, looking up at the ceiling – I’d left my glow-in-the-dark stars up there along with some thoughts. When I was younger, my little feet didn’t enjoy wearing shoes, so they knew the feeling of walking across the hot leiklip paving off the porch. These same slate slabs that would retain the heat of the sun did the most wonderful thing…

A PLAIN LITTLE HOUSE

The house is real, not imaginary. But it is also a place lodged deep in the imagination, a dream place whose actual coordinates have been forgotten. In the last years of her very long life, my mother’s memory, eroded by time and general anaesthetics, returned to the house where she lived as a little girl, a small house built of corrugated iron and wood. Now, when most of her past had slipped out of sight, the Blackridge house gleamed like a lighted window in the gathering dark: the house and the vast garden in which it was planted, always the garden. She was bedridden by then, confined to a nursing home bed, where she’d lie all day watching the movement of light in the syringa tree and the pigeons who came to…

A PLAIN LITTLE HOUSE

MOONLIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT

My haven is not imaginary. Double volume, reaching far above the surrounding rooms. Four large glass panels to the east, glass bricks randomly placed near the high ceiling. A watchtower onto the night skies. The walls pearly grey. Cold, cold tiles beneath my feet. Cathedral-like. I face a blank wall where a few scribbled words remind me; “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.” Two escape routes, the third blocked by a lattice screen, stark against the darkness behind it. The Confessional. Behind my shoulder, the bedroom where oblivion waits. Closed now. In the far corner, the voorkamer, where the 21st century holds sway. Behind me, a wall of words between the covers of books. Other people’s stories, other people’s dreams. The wisdoms and follies of history. The poets. Lorca leaning against Whitman. Castro…

MOONLIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT

WHEN Dominique Fourie of Indy Spirit Worx refers to herself as an “extreme minimalist” with a love of concrete, she means it. She describes her dream home as one that is bare, a functional and stripped-down space. It’s easy to understand – the mental peace gained from living in a house so streamlined and spartan is irrefutable. The facade of Rosa and Chaka Smith’s home in a high-end golf and wildlife estate in Kempton Park is emphatically modern. Lines – projecting, intersecting and running in parallel – are its primary language. A rectangular box clad in Rheinzink protrudes from a monolithic concrete structure. From the street, this fortress-like house gives little away. A long walkway of balau decking runs perpendicular to the home’s east-west linear orientation, visibly drawing the visitor in. As…

THIRTY years ago, when designer Anke Stegmann and her husband, civil engineer Johnny Cullum, bought a piece of open land on the slopes of Table Mountain, they were taken with its location in a glen. Situated between two rivers, the property offered various open riverine spaces and an amazing variety of plants and wildlife. Finding this piece of paradise was a profound moment for Anke, whose childhood in Namibia had given her an appreciation for the “profundity of vast open spaces and nothingness”. Their original home was “a simple box of a house” set within a terraced garden that had been created 60 years before by a local resident who was a keen gardener, the late Lucy May Bean. “When we first built, we had no fences, so we had full use of…

IN 1964, when I was 14 years old, my family was forced into exile. For most of his life my father, Joe Slovo, lived under the shadow of imprisonment and assassination. In 1982, my mother, Ruth First, was murdered by agents acting on behalf of the apartheid regime. Not surprisingly, I have ambivalent and complicated feelings about the country of my birth. Though I am grateful for the advantages of growing up and being educated in the UK, the sense of loss I have always felt, and the longing to be back under African skies, never went away. It is no coincidence that two of the films I have scripted are set in South Africa. When my citizenship was restored in 2005, and after 54 years away, I started to…

GOOD, BETTER, LESS

TASHA Tyler isn’t one for trends. That said, she’s been uncannily adept at being ahead of them. She was, for example, an early adopter of the Balinese decor trend in South Africa, having established a successful business importing and selling one-of-a-kind pieces from Indonesia in the late ’90s. And when, more than a decade later, the business had run its course and she was left with two storage spaces filled to the rafters with remaining stock, she applied the principles of reigning keep-it-neat queen Marie Kondo to help sort and sell anything she didn’t want any more. “It’s so liberating to look at your possessions, acknowledge that they played a part in your life, and then let them go,” says Tasha, seated in the airy lounge area of her studio…

GOOD, BETTER, LESS

When you own a share in a farm just outside Joburg with the Crocodile River running through it, setting up a weekend getaway place makes more than a little sense. But the owners of this property took their time. In fact, years went by, says architect Joe van Rooyen of JVR Architects, before they decided to commit to the project. The perfect spot was patiently awaiting them. On a picturesque site overlooking the river stood the ruin of a stone cottage, believed to be the original farm manager’s house. It had so much potential that Joe and the owners decided to renovate, although it would be more accurate to describe what the project developed into as a reinvention rather than a renovation. “It’s not a cottage any more,” says Joe. It…

WHEN Fiona and John Whitfield moved back to the Port Elizabeth suburb of Fiona’s childhood in 2001, they were so smitten with the 1940s house at the top of the property that they scarcely took note of the tantalising treasures below. They would later explore the tangled River Road garden and discover neglected stone pathways amid the milkwoods and white stinkwoods – evidence of landscaping from when the original property stretched right down to the base of Baakens Valley. “With thick gloves up to our elbows and gumboots up to our knees, we set about clearing creepers and vines that had snaked their way up the trees and lay knee-deep on the ground,” Fiona remembers. A decade of clearing later, the Baakens, rich in indigenous plant- and birdlife, now offers the Whitfields an…

FOLLOWING a fire that tore through the heart of &Beyond Phinda Homestead two years ago, the safari villa recently reopened with a bold new look. While retaining the original footprint of the building, architect Nick Plewman cleverly re-oriented it to afford more generous under-roof outdoor space, which flows seamlessly from the interior, and front-row seats to the goings-on at the waterhole. The former pitched thatched roof was replaced with a flat steel-and-timber substructure roof. “The lodge now sits more subtly in the environment, forming an understorey between the surrounding tree canopy and the ground,” Nick says. Expansive wooden decking, undressed concrete floors, vertical eucalyptus poles and latte screens speak of Nick’s affinity for authentic materials. They don’t distract or detract from the landscape and the activity at the pan. The memory pond at…

NO/01 THE CHEF’S TABLE

COOKING shows like Chef’s Table and MasterChef have turned many home cooks into amateur chefs and fostered an interest in cookware and tableware with a difference. Cookbooks outsell all other categories, and these days it’s all about eating in rather than eating out. Exhibitors at Ambiente 2019 catered extensively to this movement and showcased exciting new designs, colours and solutions, which will appear on our shelves soon. Keep an eye out for rough textures and beautiful imperfections, and a multitude of small individual dishes Inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine. Be sure to buy plates with edges or lips, and glassware that calls for a celebration. And if black is your colour, now is the time to stock up on your favourite items in your favourite hue.

NO/02 BENCHMARK

EVERY year, Design Indaba calls on industry leaders and influencers to nominate what they think is the most beautiful object in the country, before opening up the vote to the public to decide which object or concept should win. Designed by Phillip Hollander and Stephen Wilson of Houtlander, the Interdependence II bench received the annual accolade, with 20% of the total number of votes. The bright-blue bench, punctuated by a playful sculptural twist, was nominated by entrepreneur Nandi Dlepu, who applauded the quality of the manufacturing and the abstract yet familiar nature of the design. Among this year’s nominees were Ebert Otto’s copper-and-glass kettle, nominated by VISI editor-in-chief Sumien Brink; African bridal dress by Mzukisi Mbane, nominated by TV presenter Bonnie Mbuli; and the Nenzima desk by Mpho Vackier, nominated by interior designer…

NO/04 REALITY BYTES

THREE-dimensional visualisation techniques – renders, panoramic imagery and fly-throughs – are not new to the architecture scene, but the latest technological advances allow architects to present their design concepts to clients in a highly visual way. “Specific design elements, building systems, material finishes and even furniture can be visualised with the help of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR),” says Emile Maritz, 3D visualisation manager at Paragon Group. The terms AR and VR are often used interchangeably, says Emile, but they are vastly different media types. AR refers to digital information that is overlaid on real-world elements, such as a photograph or video footage, to paint a more complete picture of the final product. VR, on the other hand, is a digitally created environment into which the viewer is immersed. “In…

NO/08 A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

WHETHER it’s been residential projects, monasteries, museums, bridges or objects, John Pawson has spent more than 30 years championing simplicity in his work. Here, he highlights standout projects and shares how spatial themes continue to inform his practice decades later. Traditional architecture, interior design, the design of objects… for you, it all falls under the architecture umbrella. What does architecture mean to you? For me, architecture is building with added intention. Rather than simply setting out to enclose space in whatever fashion and by whatever means, architecture is about precise arrangements of mass, proportion, surface and light, which come together to make atmosphere. My aim has always been for everything I do to carry the essence of the philosophy. Whether a fork, a bridge, a bowl or an entire monastery, it’s…

ARCHITECTS often claim that they draw inspiration from nature. The final construction may echo the subject with a set of similar curves or with artificial simulations of natural functions. The new National Museum of Qatar by architect Jean Nouvel does not just echo the aesthetic of nature, but it also exemplifies it. In Jean’s words, “Qatar has a deep rapport with the desert, with its flora and fauna, its nomadic people, its long traditions. To fuse these contrasting stories, I needed a symbolic element. Eventually, I remembered the phenomenon of the desert rose: crystalline forms, like miniature architectural events, that emerge from the ground through the work of wind, saltwater and sand. The museum, with its great curved discs, intersections and cantilevered angles, is a totality, at once architectural, spatial and…

For every challenge, the teams had to collaborate with a local designer on a bespoke element. When it came to choosing finishes, they had the advantage of working with Win A Home’s product and service sponsors, namely Caesarstone, Magma Surfaces, Cosi Home for cabinetry, Oggie Hardwood Flooring, Flush Bathrooms, Durum Smart Paint, and Samsung for all appliances.

At the beginning of 2012, Rado embarked on a new artistic venture, developing a technique of manipulating sheets of stainless steel by hand to form large-scale sculptures. By using the inherent physical properties of the metal, Rado creates a striking three-dimensional surface that draws the observer into its reflective depth, a style he calls the Mercury Effect. “The reflective surface creates an ephemeral feeling that lifts the observer out of themselves and…

MOONLIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT

My haven is not imaginary. Double volume, reaching far above the surrounding rooms. Four large glass panels to the east, glass bricks randomly placed near the high ceiling. A watchtower onto the night skies. The walls pearly grey. Cold, cold tiles beneath my feet. Cathedral-like. I face a blank wall where a few scribbled words remind me; “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.” Two escape routes, the third blocked by a lattice screen, stark against the darkness behind it. The Confessional. Behind my shoulder, the bedroom where oblivion waits. Closed now. In the far corner, the voorkamer, where the 21st century holds sway. Behind me, a wall of words between the covers of books. Other people’s stories, other people’s dreams. The wisdoms and follies of history. The poets. Lorca leaning against Whitman.…

NO/17 QUICK ON THE DRAW

What began as a creative outlet for graphic designer Quentin Horn – “something other than logos and corporate identities” – has seen him turn his doodles into art. How did you develop your style? I was about to recycle a notebook when I noticed my doodles – pages full that I had unconsciously drawn while speaking to someone on the phone, trying to work out the best colour combination for a corporate identity or wondering what to have for dinner. On a whim I scanned all 200 pages and painstakingly “cut” them out in Photoshop to create my first “brush” library. I started to use these ‘brushes’ to create a bigger picture, so to speak, and it just snowballed from there. Do you have a favourite medium? I don’t like pens much;…

NO/18 ART OF THE FOLD

INSPIRED by her Japanese roommate in London who would make origami pieces for extra money, Morongwe Mokone first started making her paper swans 11 years ago. “I was intrigued by this type of art and had to learn,” she says. Morongwe’s creations are decorative as well as functional. It takes her about 6 hours to make one sculpture by hand: cutting and folding paper before putting the swan together and sealing it with glue for shine and strength. “I love both colour and practicality,” she says. “I also love the idea of injecting colour into work spaces.” The swans, which sell for between R250 and R300 under Morongwe’s decor brand Mo’s Crib, will be available at Decorex Joburg in August, and at KAMERS/Makers in Stellenbosch and Irene towards the end of the year.…

WHEN Dominique Fourie of Indy Spirit Worx refers to herself as an “extreme minimalist” with a love of concrete, she means it. She describes her dream home as one that is bare, a functional and stripped-down space. It’s easy to understand – the mental peace gained from living in a house so streamlined and spartan is irrefutable. The facade of Rosa and Chaka Smith’s home in a high-end golf and wildlife estate in Kempton Park is emphatically modern. Lines – projecting, intersecting and running in parallel – are its primary language. A rectangular box clad in Rheinzink protrudes from a monolithic concrete structure. From the street, this fortress-like house gives little away. A long walkway of balau decking runs perpendicular to the home’s east-west linear orientation, visibly drawing the visitor…

FEATURING charming illustrations in calming watercolour washes, the Wilderness collection comprises a range of wallpaper designs that encapsulate the nostalgia and tonal shifts of the changing seasons. A team of designers in the UK created and digitally printed the motifs of scenes in nature on wide, heavyweight non-woven paper. There’s the beautiful thistle pattern of the Cirsiun design (pictured), hummingbirds darting between flowers in Fuchsia Flight, pheasants foraging among berry bushes and bracken in the autumnal Blackberry Row, rabbits hiding in grasses and thistles in the whimsical Jack Rabbit, and chaffinches perched among brush and reeds in Chaffinch. At the same time, Mavromac continues its passion for linen by launching the Voyage textile collection, available in 25 colourways inspired by the natural palettes featured in the Wilderness collection.

THIRTY years ago, when designer Anke Stegmann and her husband, civil engineer Johnny Cullum, bought a piece of open land on the slopes of Table Mountain, they were taken with its location in a glen. Situated between two rivers, the property offered various open riverine spaces and an amazing variety of plants and wildlife. Finding this piece of paradise was a profound moment for Anke, whose childhood in Namibia had given her an appreciation for the “profundity of vast open spaces and nothingness”. Their original home was “a simple box of a house” set within a terraced garden that had been created 60 years before by a local resident who was a keen gardener, the late Lucy May Bean. “When we first built, we had no fences, so we had…

IN 1964, when I was 14 years old, my family was forced into exile. For most of his life my father, Joe Slovo, lived under the shadow of imprisonment and assassination. In 1982, my mother, Ruth First, was murdered by agents acting on behalf of the apartheid regime. Not surprisingly, I have ambivalent and complicated feelings about the country of my birth. Though I am grateful for the advantages of growing up and being educated in the UK, the sense of loss I have always felt, and the longing to be back under African skies, never went away. It is no coincidence that two of the films I have scripted are set in South Africa. When my citizenship was restored in 2005, and after 54 years away, I started to…

THE inspiration for Kehumile Mate’s Kopano ottoman range struck while at his grandmother’s house as matriarch Mokgonyeng Mate sat weaving a carpet from recycled plastic. “She exposed me to weaving from an early age,” Kehumile says. His creative background is rooted in visual arts, with the focus on print-making and interior and furniture design, “but I had never seen her using recycled plastic until that day. I knew I wanted to bring an ergonomic dimension to the craft by placing it in a modern context.” Kehumile had been working on the prototype for five months when he found himself a contestant on Win A Home Season 5 in 2018, partnering with Nicholas Smit, a design college contemporary. “I didn’t anticipate the creative synergy we would have together,” Kehumile says. “Our penthouse…

TASHA Tyler isn’t one for trends. That said, she’s been uncannily adept at being ahead of them. She was, for example, an early adopter of the Balinese decor trend in South Africa, having established a successful business importing and selling one-of-a-kind pieces from Indonesia in the late ’90s. And when, more than a decade later, the business had run its course and she was left with two storage spaces filled to the rafters with remaining stock, she applied the principles of reigning keep-it-neat queen Marie Kondo to help sort and sell anything she didn’t want any more. “It’s so liberating to look at your possessions, acknowledge that they played a part in your life, and then let them go,” says Tasha, seated in the airy lounge area of her studio…

THE word mantua, from the French manteau for a cloak or mantle, refers to a loose gown worn by women in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is also the name of the Italian city to which Shakespeare’s Romeo was banished. And it’s the name Juandi Andrag’s silk scarves go by. Juandi founded Mantua Silkwear in 2017. Working from her home studio in Stellenbosch, she opts to either paint directly on silk fabric, or on paper, which is then transferred to silk. When it comes to technique, “I disregard most of the classic guidelines on silk painting,” Juandi admits, “and the artworks develop organically with a colour, pattern or theme in mind. I am intrigued by the fluidity of concentrated watercolour pigment diluted with water, and the way it flows onto paper…

When you own a share in a farm just outside Joburg with the Crocodile River running through it, setting up a weekend getaway place makes more than a little sense. But the owners of this property took their time. In fact, years went by, says architect Joe van Rooyen of JVR Architects, before they decided to commit to the project. The perfect spot was patiently awaiting them. On a picturesque site overlooking the river stood the ruin of a stone cottage, believed to be the original farm manager’s house. It had so much potential that Joe and the owners decided to renovate, although it would be more accurate to describe what the project developed into as a reinvention rather than a renovation. “It’s not a cottage any more,” says Joe.…

WHEN Fiona and John Whitfield moved back to the Port Elizabeth suburb of Fiona’s childhood in 2001, they were so smitten with the 1940s house at the top of the property that they scarcely took note of the tantalising treasures below. They would later explore the tangled River Road garden and discover neglected stone pathways amid the milkwoods and white stinkwoods – evidence of landscaping from when the original property stretched right down to the base of Baakens Valley. “With thick gloves up to our elbows and gumboots up to our knees, we set about clearing creepers and vines that had snaked their way up the trees and lay knee-deep on the ground,” Fiona remembers. A decade of clearing later, the Baakens, rich in indigenous plant- and birdlife, now offers…

FOLLOWING a fire that tore through the heart of &Beyond Phinda Homestead two years ago, the safari villa recently reopened with a bold new look. While retaining the original footprint of the building, architect Nick Plewman cleverly re-oriented it to afford more generous under-roof outdoor space, which flows seamlessly from the interior, and front-row seats to the goings-on at the waterhole. The former pitched thatched roof was replaced with a flat steel-and-timber substructure roof. “The lodge now sits more subtly in the environment, forming an understorey between the surrounding tree canopy and the ground,” Nick says. Expansive wooden decking, undressed concrete floors, vertical eucalyptus poles and latte screens speak of Nick’s affinity for authentic materials. They don’t distract or detract from the landscape and the activity at the pan. The…

Aired several years ago, when the motoring show was still innovative and cool, then-host Jeremy Clarkson tried his best to destroy a red Toyota Hilux, which he had dubbed the Jihad Mobile after “watching news footage of various people in the Middle East shooting Americans from the backs of their Toyota pick-up trucks”. Subsequently, Clarkson and co. rammed the red workhorse into walls, dropped it from a crane, set it on fire, hit it with a wrecking ball and left it in the stormy Atlantic overnight. And when the engine remained running, they put it on top of a block of flats earmarked for demolition by implosion. Out of the rubble emerged a still-functioning wreck.…

THREE-dimensional visualisation techniques – renders, panoramic imagery and fly-throughs – are not new to the architecture scene, but the latest technological advances allow architects to present their design concepts to clients in a highly visual way. “Specific design elements, building systems, material finishes and even furniture can be visualised with the help of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR),” says Emile Maritz, 3D visualisation manager at Paragon Group. The terms AR and VR are often used interchangeably, says Emile, but they are vastly different media types.

Traditional architecture, interior design, the design of objects… for you, it all falls under the architecture umbrella. What does architecture mean to you? For me, architecture is building with added intention. Rather than simply setting out to enclose space in whatever fashion and by whatever means, architecture is about precise arrangements of mass, proportion, surface and light, which come together to make atmosphere.

In Jean’s words, “Qatar has a deep rapport with the desert, with its flora and fauna, its nomadic people, its long traditions. To fuse these contrasting stories, I needed a symbolic element. Eventually, I remembered the phenomenon of the desert rose: crystalline forms, like miniature architectural events, that emerge from the ground through the work of wind, saltwater and sand.

At the same time, Mavromac continues its passion for linen by launching the Voyage textile collection, available in 25 colourways inspired by the natural palettes featured in the Wilderness collection. Earthy stone-washed…

NO/21 OTTOMAN EMPIRE

THE inspiration for Kehumile Mate’s Kopano ottoman range struck while at his grandmother’s house as matriarch Mokgonyeng Mate sat weaving a carpet from recycled plastic. “She exposed me to weaving from an early age,” Kehumile says. His creative background is rooted in visual arts, with the focus on print-making and interior and furniture design, “but I had never seen her using recycled plastic until that day. I knew I wanted to bring an ergonomic dimension to the craft by placing it in a modern context.” Kehumile had been working on the prototype for five months when he found himself a contestant on Win A Home Season 5 in 2018, partnering with Nicholas Smit, a design college contemporary. “I didn’t anticipate the creative synergy we would have together,” Kehumile says. “Our…

NO/22 THAT’S AWRAP!

THE word mantua, from the French manteau for a cloak or mantle, refers to a loose gown worn by women in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is also the name of the Italian city to which Shakespeare’s Romeo was banished. And it’s the name Juandi Andrag’s silk scarves go by. Juandi founded Mantua Silkwear in 2017. Working from her home studio in Stellenbosch, she opts to either paint directly on silk fabric, or on paper, which is then transferred to silk. When it comes to technique, “I disregard most of the classic guidelines on silk painting,” Juandi admits, “and the artworks develop organically with a colour, pattern or theme in mind. I am intrigued by the fluidity of concentrated watercolour pigment diluted with water, and the way it flows…

NO/24 BEAUTY AND THE BEACH

“I grew up in a small coastal town on the Indian Ocean and, after university, spent 13 years as a designer in the then-thriving and soulful surf industry in Durban,” says Kathy Burns, founder of Bungalow Living. “I now live on the Atlantic coast, and spend every possible holiday travelling to a different far-flung beach.” What began as a creative outlet, capturing the foliage, shells and treasures of local shores became so much more than that. “Taking photos of elements of the sea and nature led to experimenting with digital printing on fabrics,” she says. “This evolved into a range of scatter cushions, wall art, place mats, ceramics, tote bags, soaps and candles. I love the organic patterns and simple shapes in nature, and I love capturing them on camera.”…

“MY JOURNEY INTO WINE”

Wine writer Tshepang Molisana is one of the fresh female voices coming to the fore in the wine industry. Here’s how she got into wine. “In 2012, I sat across the table from Anri Truter of Beyerskloof and Helgard van Schalkwyk of Lynx, finalists in the Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Awards, and I was inspired by their passion for wine. In 2013, I was a finalist for the Veritas Young Wine Writer of the Year Competition, and one of the judges, Classic Wine magazine editor Cathryn Henderson, encouraged me to pursue wine writing. Through Cathryn I met Gudrun Clarke, who introduced me to The Sowetan wine writer Len Maseko. Len told me to always say yes and always stay working. I completed the Cape Wine Academy Advanced Brandy Course and eventually won…

NO/26 A PLACE TO PLAY(ANDSTAY)

REMEMBER the simple pleasures of childhood summers, when every day was a mini adventure? Constance Hotels and Resorts recently introduced its new sister brand, C Resorts, and wants you to feel that way again when you stay over. Here, the emphasis is on playing, letting go and feeling free. The first C Resort, C Palmar Mauritius, overlooks a lagoon on the east coast of the island. As CEO Jean-Jacques Vallet says, “We want it to be a place where guests can regain the free spirit of their youth and let go of adult concerns.” To make this easier to achieve, each C Resorts property will offer 12 original guest experiences (Cignatures), including swings for grown-ups, an activity centre with games, giant floating mattresses, a musical shower on the beach in…

NO/27 TO HELL AND BACK

WHENEVER I hear the name Hilux I think of one of my favourite Top Gear episodes. Aired several years ago, when the motoring show was still innovative and cool, then-host Jeremy Clarkson tried his best to destroy a red Toyota Hilux, which he had dubbed the Jihad Mobile after “watching news footage of various people in the Middle East shooting Americans from the backs of their Toyota pick-up trucks”. Subsequently, Clarkson and co. rammed the red workhorse into walls, dropped it from a crane, set it on fire, hit it with a wrecking ball and left it in the stormy Atlantic overnight. And when the engine remained running, they put it on top of a block of flats earmarked for demolition by implosion. Out of the rubble emerged a still-functioning…

Japanese creative duo TENT – Masayuki Haruta and Ryosaku Aoki – repurposed the tension rod to create spacial solutions for small homes. They collaborated with tension-rod manufacturer Heian Shindo to create what they dubbed DRAW A LINE: It comes with accessories like hooks and clip-on shelves, tabletops and lamps. We were introduced to DRAW A LINE at Ambiente in Frankfurt and thought it the ultimate Smart Idea. We can’t think of a better application for a tension rod than positioning one between floor and ceiling next to the bed with a clip-on bedside lamp. tent1000.com…
