2012/2013 IDEAS, INSPIRATION AND NUMBERS YOU NEED TO KNOW

ed’s note

THE FUTURE’S LOOKING BRIGHT Although my wardrobe is pretty neutral, my home is a fun, colourful place where I have found an excuse to do something with red in almost every single room.

That’s only one reason that I am delighted that décor and design is continuing with its colourful spree in the year ahead. The splashes of neon, clashing prints, gleaming metallics and a 2013 winter that is going to be wall to wall purple, simply fill me with happiness and a sense of optimism.

there’s very little in terms of the big international names that you can’t get in South Africa.

Long before Zara arrived in Sandton, some of the most desirable design brands such as Tom Dixon and Kartell were available in Joburg and Cape Town. Now the cult brands such as De Padova are even arriving.

This optimism is not entirely unfounded either. The past year at Decorex SA has seen record numbers in terms of exhibitors and visitors and when you see what the team has planned for 2013, we expect the pattern to continue.

Global travelers such as colour guru Leatrice Eiseman and trend forecaster Li Edelkoort cherish their opportunities to visit South Africa and experience this country’s unique energy and lifestyle.

But this is not because we’re a particularly clever bunch of people, it’s because South Africa has truly come of age as far as décor and design is concerned.

Every week we hear about another South African designer finding their way into global décor emporiums such as Anthropologie, Merci and Westelm. It gives me such a kick that local stars like fabric designer Skinny laMinx have online stores shipping worldclass merchandise all over the planet.

And what a thrill to interview an interior designer like David Muirhead and his portfolio shows as many spaces in South Africa, as in London, Dubai and the south of France!

When it comes to our own retail environment,

But by far the most satisfying development is that South Africans are starting to shop and decorate with style and flair – not just copying what others are doing. From budget to billionaire lifestyles, all the signs are there that South Africans have found their own style and an appreciation for good quality and great design.

Now all we need to do is outlaw Tuscan design anywhere outside of Italy and my life will be complete!

Until next time, Jacquie .

TRUE COLOURS The highly anticipated Plascon 2013 Colour Forecast is here. Detail speaks to Anne Roselt, Plascon colour manager, about this year’s theme of Balance.

true colours

This year’s colour forecast is a statement about our identity in the modern world. So says Anne Roselt, Plascon colour manager.

“We are faced with such uncertainty, from the gloomy economy to ecological and environmental disasters. Intertwined with this is the excitement of sporting and cultural events, fashion and new technology. So what society is really craving is a balance. Trends are really a reflection of what is happening around us, and as the mood changes, so do the feelings. This forecast depicts where we see colour moving. Through the calm found in the palettes called Pause and Simplicity, or the energy of Contrast and Dare, it explores ways of using colour to create harmony and balance.”

Now in its 14th year, the Plascon colour forecast continues to bring inspiration to South Africans in an interesting and accessible way.

This involves distilling input from colour experts, international research and interior design and lifestyle trends. From calm white tones to energetic brights, the four themes provide practical and creative ways to explore the concept of balance.

This modern and peaceful theme appeals to the desire for calmness and serenity. It works well with natural textures and found objects. The green brings with it a sense of nature and the outdoors and is the perfect colour treatment for beautifully hand crafted pieces of furniture.

Laurence Brick Stylist and Creative Consultant

Light white tones are taken to the next level with the judicious use of accent colours, metallic tones and textured layering. This approach to neutral colours adds a sense of interest and depth, which allows for the creation of spaces that are calm and collected, but still distinctive.

KEY INFLUENCES Everyday escape, understated elegance, modern sanctuary spaces, raw and refined, whites to calm and sooth, burnished copper and antiqued gold, rough textures, countryside sophistication, safari chic.

Contrast gives a personal and deeper meaning to colours that we see daily.

We’re also seeing it in the fashion world with the colour blocking trend. I think that this palette will appeal to the young and young at heart and everyone who loves colour.

Themba Mngomezulu Founder, Darkie Clothing

Contrast sees deep blues and greys used together to create a contemplative and grounded feeling. This is given a sense of energy with high contrast brights like pink and yellow.

The combination may be unexpected, but extremes of colour balance each other perfectly, keeping the overall effect in check.

KEY INFLUENCES Colour defined spaces, zinctones, mid-century nostalgia, 50s urban chic, vintage brights, dark sumptuous backgrounds, generous sense of space, sophisticated energy, form and order, optimism.

Pastels are updated with a grounded feeling with the addition of neutrals and greys in Pause. This collection of colours is therefore light and feminine, but still connected and mature. The overall effect hints at nostalgia, while retaining a very welcome sense of the contemporary.

KEY INFLUENCES Sorbet tones, shimmer and sparkle, Great Gatsby, 20s femininity, cut glass, cupcake aesthetics, girlish but grownup, antiqued finishes, childhood nostalgia, dusky rose tones, powder pastels.

Pastel colours help to lift and lighten a space, providing a familiar and nurturing feeling. This is a quietly sophisticated selection, and the use of neutrals and grey helps to make it very accessible.

“

The big trends at the moment are around honesty and integrity – colour and design with worth. This nostalgic and authentic, but colourful palette echoes this, showing how when times are hard, colour is a well-needed pick-me-up.

Cathy O’Clery Journalist, Stylist, Creative Consultant

With a nod to retro sensibilities, shape and colour are used to their fullest in Dare. While colourblocking makes a bold statement, the zinc-toned brights help to keep the entire look contemporary and considered, and the overall feeling is energetic without being manic.

KEY INFLUENCES Afro-chic, colour-blocked geometrics, boldly minimal, folk-inspired art and craft, saturated colour, leather and painted wood, understated warmth, berry toned purples, familiar forms, old and new, retro influences revisited.

Explain the concept behind Plascon Spaces Magazine?

Working with colour the way I do, I see how it can totally transform a space. And in so doing it makes a home a more beautiful and happy place. Most people however are just too scared to experiment.

The magazine also gives fantastic information on paint, colour scheming and colour therapy, because when you understand how colour works you’re more confident in using it.

GLOBAL VIEW Five minutes with Leatrice Eiseman. By Tess Paterson

International colourista Leatrice Eiseman is renowned as America’s ‘colour guru’. A specialist colour consultant, founder of the Eiseman Centre for Color information and Training and the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, she’s the brains behind the tantalising tones that influence design on a global scale. We chat to her about the power of colour, shopping for Missoni and lazy lunches at home.

What is the biggest colour trend for this season?

It is the continuation of the orange family as key.

Colour is so subjective. What are the key influences when it comes to colour forecasting? We look at a broad range of influences, from aesthetics, films, TV, fashion and art (both fine and pop) to geography, technology, international sports events as well as socio economic factors.

You’re well known for telling us that Honeysuckle Pink and Tangerine Tango were the colours of the year in 2011 and 2012, respectively! Tell us how you go about settling on a Pantone Colour of the Year? I look at all the above-mentioned factors and I travel a good bit as well. So I weigh up what is happening in many areas of the world and look out for the common denominator.

Colour plays such a crucial role in the design industry. How does it affect our mood? Hugely. Think of what it feels like to walk into a shabby space with a dark foreboding feeling. Now transform it with a coat or two of paint, clean it up a bit. Don’t you feel better?

What is your greatest strength? Trying to look at both sides of the picture and to be truly objective. That is really necessary in making color choices and I constantly tell my students how important it is.

You consult to both small business and Fortune 500 companies. Why do businesses need a colour expert? When millions of dollars are at stake, it is important to make intelligent, educated color decisions and not rely on opinions that are not well founded.

What is the biggest colour trend for this season? It is the continuation of the orange family as key.

Describe SA design in three words. Diverse, intriguing, colorful.

Your most coveted SA design object?

That is difficult, as the last time I was here I wanted to buy one of everything! I love the crafts and I did manage to leave with a lot of jewellery.

23

The greatest colour of all time?

All colors have the potential for greatness, it is just in the way they are combined or utilised within a specific context.

If you were a colour? I’d be purple I spend my Sundays gardening in summer, taking long walks and more often than not working on something that was due yesterday.

Best bargain buy ever? A Missoni sweater for way less than retail price in a vintage shop in Beverly Hills. I bought it in the 90s and am still wearing it!

Biggest fashion mistake ever? Buying things ‘of the moment’ in a faraway place that you know you’re not going to wear when you get home.

Best place to spend a lazy lunch? I really like lunches at home. Going to a local farmer’s market and buying organically grown goodies. But in the big city of Seattle, I love The Wild Ginger. It is fusion Asian

food - pure deliciousness and all veggies or fish (I don’t eat meat).

How do you relax? I love to read and watch wonderful films. My husband is a voting member of the Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so we get about 65 films a year to review. Love it!

I’m dreaming of another colorful year of travel for 2013.

Favourite artist? My friend Debora House who lives in Stockholm. She is an amazing colorist.

Favourite city in the world? It’s hard not to say Paris, but Lake Como in Italy is also a favourite. We visit every year for the Salone del Mobile in Milan. I am hoping to see more of SA so that I develop a favorite here.

Leatrice will be in South Africa to launch the Plascon 2013 Colour Forecast.

MEET MR GLAMOUR He’s renowned for his sleekly glamorous interiors, his love of art and his deep affinity for the city of Jozi. Few know how interior designer David Muirhead became one of SA’s most sought-after interior designers for his unique brand of sophisticated glamour. By Tess Paterson

Growing up on a farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal, David Muirhead knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life.

“I was always creating scrapbooks of homes and interiors, and from a very young age had an intense understanding of my passion for design. We grew up with an incredible sense of freedom and imagination and at the age of seven my cousin and I would scream around the farm in an old Citroen like King Farouk!”

David’s first jobs were in Durban and that was where he received his dream call-up from none other than Joburg-based American interior designer Trisha Wilson, the person behind the glamour of many Sun International hotels. And so began David’s love affair with the city of gold.

Fast track to 2004 when David and his sister Mandy Groves decided to join forces and launch David Muirhead & Associates – an interior design firm now known as much for its high-end bespoke glamour as it is for its sense of integrity.

“I believe strongly in extending my value system into my business as well as my life. If there’s trust and good inter-personal relationships and if you believe in the people you associate with, ultimately the rest will fall into place,” says David.

A master at creating luxurious, richly layered spaces, David says that he’s inspired by “almost anything” – the crazy energy and wonderful diversity of Joburg, French

architecture, modernism, the synergy between old and new. “I’ll never create something that’s clinical or minimalist though, and I always look at comfort before aesthetics.”

While David’s passion lies in top-end residential projects, he’s also in demand within the hospitality market. 54 on Bath, the dramatic refurbishment of the former Grace Hotel in Rosebank, is one of his most recent successes.

“It’s an evolution, rather than a re-invention,” he says. “We were completely respectful of the architecture which has always been celebrated by Joburgers.”

An elegant palette of silver, grey, ivory and white mingles with sexy lighting, art deco accents and supreme comfort. Key elements like the fireplaces were retained, and much of the furniture was refurbished.

“We merged the original artwork with photographic prints of Joburg. It’s sassy and very South African, but New Yorkers will love it too!”

Looking ahead, one of David’s long-term projects is the creation of David Muirhead Fine Living – a retail space filled with the trademark DM glamour.

“I envisage a fabulous interactive environment where I can share my vision and passion for design.” www.davidmuirhead.com

My dream project is designing a home for someone like Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey – people with an attitude of openness, freedom and spirituality.

I’m totally addicted to music and art. I’ll buy a sculpture before I buy groceries!

Fashion-wise I’m crazy about Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christian Dior. In the realm of design I’m completely over facebrick, thatch and kidney-shaped pools.

My dream space has incredibly high ceilings, wonderful symmetry and spectacular views of the ocean .

Timeless furniture is both comfortable and well designed.

My favourite local artists are Sam Nhlengethwa, Deborah Bell and William Kentridge.

I’m passionate about the sculpture and architecture of the art deco period.

ROCHE DRY EGG DESIGNS

Our approach to colour in 2012 was pretty monochromatic. We worked with a lot of dramatic black, both in our retail store in Kramerville and in our interiors projects, livening this up with metallic tones of copper and brass.

browns and murky greens – creates a fantastic backdrop and really draws people in. Your white accents immediately look crisper and it works beautifully for displaying art. In fact when you see art on a white wall it becomes a bit like elevator music.

Heading into summer we’ve been experimenting with the coral and flamingo shades that are coming through in fashion. It’s extremely versatile with a feminine 1930s glamour, especially when used with metallic accents. Funnily enough I wasn’t aware of Tangerine Tango, the Pantone Colour of the Year 2011, so it was quite validating to have such a connection to this shade!

When it comes to furniture, consumers are making more considered purchases. It definitely comes down to quality, and there’s a growing aversion to obsolescence. Our clients are looking for amazing pieces that they won’t tire of; something they’ll enjoy for a lifetime. Customers are also more aware of the inherent value in a piece. In the retail sector, upcycling remains strong as items are costeffective and have a great patina and story.

For the year ahead we’re definitely looking at more glamour, and perhaps because of the recession, there is still a demand for luxury.

We’re working a lot in velvet, keeping things plush and soft to the touch, with accents of iridescent sheen. Right now I’m loving powder-blues and aquas. The zinc-like tones of Plascon’s African Mud – from their 2013 Colour Forecast – has enormous impact when used over a large area.

Our interest has always been in colour blocking and texture; we’re not overly fond of florals and patterns. What we’ve found is that painting walls in darker shades – the deep

Eggs Designs’ love of quality extends throughout our projects, and this season we’ll be working in a variety of fabrics from rich velvets and supple leathers to heavy linens.

There is so much more choice right now, and whether you’re working in cotton-silk velvets or 100% polyesters, the properties and palettes have never been better. www.eggdesigns.co.za

I always put colour choices down to the mood of the times. We’re in the middle of a fairly unrelenting downturn, yet in a strange way it’s made people more adventurous. It’s a bit like the ‘red lipstick’ syndrome where women buy makeup to raise their spirits when times are hard.

Consumers are definitely wiser. They’re making more careful choices and buying pieces that will last. In turn I think they’re less responsive to the too-quiet, too-sophisticated tones, and they want something that pops. They might not be choosing acid orange, but definitely brighter, warmer, feel-good colours. It’s much the same with fabrics – the botanical inspired prints have always been there, but there’s a sense of nostalgia attached to them. It’s part of our need to be assured that things are not all bad.

Accent walls remain popular – they’re easy on the pocket and fun to do. I think the concept has evolved from the single red wall though, and people are experimenting in more creative ways. Think of adding texture by creating a golden ripple of mosaics in a recess, for instance, or making a fireplace pop with copper or mild steel.

A two-tone wall is a great way to make a statement, and in a classical interior you could use different tones above and below the dado rail. The trick is to use a non-traditional colour!

In older houses with tall ceilings, a contemporary look is

bright and beaufiful

instantly achieved by painting the walls and ceilings in the same shade. Take a beautiful pearly grey that reflects the light – not only will the room appear bigger but your furniture will look fantastic against this backdrop.

When it comes to accessories, keep scale and proportion top of mind. Accent pieces need to respond to the rest of the space. So if you have an enormous, low sofa, make sure the scatters are substantial. The same goes for your glassware – make it bold and definite; knick-knacks have a way of getting lost. Buy

only what you love, but first make sure it works and that it has longevity.

For next year, we’re enjoying interpreting colour in a way that will last. I especially love the rich blue shades in the Contrast palette from the Plascon 2013 Colour Forecast which lend themselves to any scheme.

They’re quite beautiful when mixed with orange or copper hues. www.inkdesignlab.co.za

When decorating a neutral space, I always up the ante by mixing in bold accent colours such as acid yellow. A splash of yellow or green brings a shot of positive energy into a room.

These colours work beautifully as highlights and contrast well against strong neutrals like charcoal. We’re seeing the rusted orange tones coming through too, which has a slightly retro feel. This extends to the soft pink and nude spectrum, especially in fabrics, and Designers Guild has embraced this palette spectacularly well.

On the subject of fabrics, I predict a huge rise in the popularity of texture for 2013. We’re seeing washed fabrics coming through with an uneven appearance that works so beautifully on linens and velvelts. Prints-wise there’s a move to geometric designs, and the best of the Ikats are beautifully layered with fresh colouration.

When it comes to working magic on living spaces, paint is the simplest, easiest solution.

In times of recession especially, there’s a need to inject a sense of energy and lift a mood.

Paint is one of the quickest and most under-

rated ways to fix things, from refurbing a piece of furniture to updating a room. It’s relatively inexpensive and it’s not a huge commitment – when you tire of it you simply change to something else. The wonderful thing is that each person brings a totally different point of view to the same colour palette.

I’m particularly enjoying the neutral tones of Simplicity within the Plascon 2013 Colour Forecast. Add to this a pop of energy like the grass green colour called Dragon’s Hide, plus an interesting mix of mineral and metallic shades, and the overall feeling is very natural.

I’ve always lived in dark moody spaces, but I’m definitely veering towards calmer tones in my new home. I’m enjoying the ease that comes with white, off-white and grey.

I have always loved working with white. I like to work with a very neutral palette that serves as my backdrop in design. White is so incredibly timeless and it gives a room a strong architectural presence.

I think colour has the most impact when it’s incorporated into an interior as an accent – whether in a beautiful artwork, dramatic scatters, textured carpets or an accent wall. The current trends are headed towards bright colours like turquoise, orange and cerise pink as well as bold patterns like Ikats and zigzags, referenced by David Hicks and Madeline Weinrib. These patterns are also very prominent in flat-weave carpets and dyed Persian carpets. When I do bring in colour, I generally stick to one or two colours and repeat those throughout, rather than bringing in a different scheme into each room. It’s important to create a sense of continuity.

I love the orange that is a strong colour trend this year. I remember hearing that orange in interiors should only be used in the form of an Hermès box! And at the time I tended to agree with that.

But this season I‘ve been throwing in orange with everything. It’s vibrant and energetic and commands attention without being as overpowering as red.

Pastels found in Pause from the Plascon 2013 Colour Forecast are also a strong colour trend going into next year, together with other soft, dusky tones, these can be interpreted in a very light and feminine way.

Whatever your chosen colour spectrum, my interiors remain understated, personal and quietly refined. Working with texture is so important, and it’s a wonderful way to create a layered look. I like to include natural and painted woods, beaded scatters with chunky fabrics, grey wicker furniture and accessories in glass and perspex. I’m also using a lot of fabrics with a trellis motif which adds a modern yet timeless appeal. I think a good room is one that’s richly layered while maintaining a simple restraint. www.privatehouseco.co.za

VICKI SLEET IWANTTHAT.CO.ZA

What’s your blog about?

All the things that catch my interest and eye from interior trends and beautifully decorated spaces, to shops I love, talents I want to share, clever designs and products I’m lusting after. I also include destinations that are on my wish list or that I’ve been to, and recipes that I think my readers would enjoy.

Best thing about Facebook?

I absolutely love my website Facebook page - it’s like a mini blog. Interestingly because more people feel comfortable on Facebook, the interaction levels are much higher. I find it very rewarding as a marketing tool for my blog.

Do you tweet?

Totally, and I read my timeline religiously.

I’m not as disciplined as I used to be about tweeting a good balance of interesting info and tweets referring back to my sites, but it’s on my to do list - good twitter etiquette is essential to creating a worthwhile presence.

Favourite local designers?

I really admire Heather Moore from Skinny laMinx who has made a name for herself with her surface and textile designs. I think Kirsten Goss is an extraordinary jewellery talent and I have such admiration for Patricia Driscoll’s beautiful photography and Gabby Raaff ’s extraordinary watercolours.

Most coveted design object?

A minimalist prefab Bach house complete with extraordinary (but oh-so-spare) interiors in the middle of the Cedarberg Best market in your area?

I live a couple of minutes away from the Bluebird Garage in Muizenberg. It’s held every Friday evening and is a really laidback

event, complete with requisite hippies, thankfully few hipsters and a series of stands serving up homemade food. It’s unpretentious and supportive of local business, a feel-good way to start the weekend.

Top tip for vintage shopping?

Buy what you love, something that gives you that happy-in-your-heart feeling. Pedigrees are important only if you’re a reseller or serious collector.

I’m dreaming of another holiday in Greece for 2013. Oh and a handmade Chapel handbag (I have the lining I want for it already).

Plus a white and multicoloured crochet blanket for my bed, The Camino.

The best thing about blogging?

Being able to connect with like-minded people across the world and seeing what they’re getting up to.

Your thoughts on Facebook?

I think it’s an incredibly useful tool for marketing. It offers an instant two way forum and an opportunity to interact and communicate with clients directly. It does however involve a lot of time and I think people need to manage this wisely.

Do you tweet?

Yes, but not nearly as often as I should. I use twitter to gain up to date information and valuable insights, as well as to promote my blog. The best people to follow are those in your own field that can offer inspiration and advice. Of course a sense of humor always helps too!

Favourite local designer?

Gregor Jenkin. His designs are absolutely classic and timeless, yet with a contemporary feel. I would love to own one of his steel turned leg servers.

Most coveted design object?

Lately I’ve been dreaming of some Tolix H Stools for around our kitchen counter.

What inspires you on a daily basis?

Observing and taking in all the details wherever I am. An interesting shop sign with an

unusual font or a vintage dress made out of an incredible fabric - anything can inspire.

Following other creatives online also keeps me motivated and up to date with the latest trends.

Best place for a lazy lunch in the Cape?

Tokara Delicatessen near Stellenbosch is one of my all time favorite spots. Wholesome food, fantastic wines plus an amazing view make it perfect for a leisurely laid back lunch.

For 2013 I’m dreaming of a trip to Buenos Aires to experience the culture, eat tapas and practise my Spanish.

Best fashion buy ever?

A pair of classic leather boots. I’ve lived in them for the past two seasons.

Most coveted design object?

A Smeg fridge.

designers to keep in the décor know. I do prefer to follow brands rather than individuals as I want to know about new products, rather than what someone had for lunch. But I guess random tweets do happen to the best of us!

Your thoughts on Facebook?

It’s a fabulous marketing tool. When some-one likes your post all their friends see it, and it’s fantastic for spreading your info!

Favourite local designer?

I’m mad about Skinny laMinx - I have blinds, cushions, and re-covered chair and bench seats in their fabric. I just love the selection of colours, and how so much of the collections

For 2013 I’m dreaming of a trip to Morocco to satisfy my hunger for Moroccan décor. It would be great to go via Mexico to visit my brother and New York to attend my best friend’s book launch too!

I’m always surprised by my French bulldog in the morning. He comes to the side of my bed, wakes me up and demands love. It’s the best surprise each day!

My Sundays are spent going for a run with my husband, big family lunches and walking our dogs in Newlands forest.

What’s your blog about?

It’s a visual compendium of the interesting and beautiful things that catch my eye - from design to art, architecture, food, fashion, photography and illustration.

CATHERINE GREEN WOLFEYEBROWS.WORDPRESS.COM

Best thing about blogging?

Getting in touch with the people that I blog about. Often I’ll do a blog post about an artist or designer that I admire and I’ll get an email or comment from them to thank me. It’s a great way to broaden your creative network and meet talented new people.

Do you tweet?

Yes. My twitter name is @wolfeyebrows.

Personally I prefer twitter to Facebook because it’s more informative and has less self-indulgent personal rants. I enjoy following The New York Times (@nytimes) and The Mail and Guardian (@mailandguardian) to keep me updated about global and local news.

Simon Fabricius (@sim_fab) has an unusual and funny take on the world. NOWNESS (@NOWNESS) is a great resource for news about art, design, photography and fashion Your thoughts on Facebook?

I think having a Facebook page is valuable if it is well-managed. If you’re going to join social networks as a business, make sure you make frequent updates, respond to comments and keep your brand tone consistent across all online platforms. Rather do a few things well, than many things in a haphazard manner.

Favourite local designer?

Andrea Kleinloog of Anatomy Design. She creates refined, sophisticated and beautiful design objects. I particularly love her Lablight.

Most coveted design object?

I really love the furniture design of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The Barcelona Chair by Mies van de Rohe is also exceptional.

What inspires you on a daily basis?

Other blogs! I visit a number of local and international blogs on a daily basis to get inspired and to discover new things.

Best bakery in Jozi?

I’d recommend Vovo Telo at 44 Stanley for their delicious cheese and olive breadsticks.

I’m dreaming of a house of my own for 2013.

I’m always surprised by my friends. I’m really thankful to have such an amazing group of talented and creative people in my life.

Favourite shop for local fashion? mememe is a good spot. I’d also recommend Mungo & Jemima in Cape Town.

ANGIE DURRANT LUCKYPONY.CO.ZA

What’s your blog about?

Loads of different things! A lot of posts are personal and are about my life, the places I visit, the things I buy, the stuff I bake, the people I love, the things I wear and want.

But I also blog about cool things that I find like art, design, illustration, fashion, music and photography.

Best thing about blogging?

I get to write about stuff that I’ve seen, like, care about, hate, want, love, collect, make and there are people out there that actually care to listen. It makes me really, really happy.

Do you tweet?

I must be honest, I’m not the world’s biggest tweeter. However I like tweeting my instagrams - I love that app so much, it’s like spying but not, but yes.

Favourite local designer?

Cape Town based furniture designers Pedersen + Lennard. They make really interesting and accessible stuff and are so willing when

it comes to developing an idea that you would like to see made into reality.

Most coveted design object ever?

An onyx Protea ring by Sirkel.

What inspires you on a daily basis?

The internet! There are so many cool things and people out there and without it we would never know about any of them.

Best place to buy art in Jozi?

I’m going to have to be biased and say Wolves Café, which we own. There are so many talented artists around and I’m proud that we get to showcase some of that work.

I think in a small way we’ve made it easy to own something beautiful that isn’t over priced and out of reach.

For 2013 I’m dreaming of an awesome flat that my husband Shane and I can call our own.

I’m always surprised by how much talent we have in our country. There are so many interesting and eager people out there making things happen for themselves. It makes me happy that I get to experience them via my line of work.

Best fashion buy ever?

My navy blue duffel coat Biggest fashion mistake?

My black turtle neck and silver peace-sign necklace that I always wore together when I was a kid!

PRINTS CHARMING From exuberant painterly florals and updated Ikats to exclusive artisanal designs, statement prints are causing a stir.

Tess Paterson looks at this season’s star attractions

BLOOM BOOM THE NEW FLORALS

Call it a reaction to the recession or a need for a fresh, modern take on the world, there’s a growing demand for more pattern and colour. And the floral, with its limitless interpretations, is here to stay.

Home Fabrics

“Florals remain a key trend, and the scale is being played with more than ever,” says Gary Searle of St Leger & Viney “The new florals are piling on colour and there’s a fresh take on the traditional palettes.

Lizzo’s vast-scale printed floral for instance – in chartreuse, raspberry and lavender - gives a contemporary twist to a classic design. We’re seeing an uneven visual texture coming through too – a water-colour effect with the sense of an artist’s brush.”

St Leger & Viney - Villa Nova High Society

“The scale is certainly larger and there is a focus on beautiful painterly execution which has been driven by the digital printing revolution,” adds Haidee Kramer of Home Fabrics. “Today one can capture and interpret the exact paint brush strokes and intricacies of the artists’ work without hindrance. This has lead to a new surge in photo-realistic and painterly works which are absolutely captivating. Tricia Guild leads in this field with her fabulous Ornamental Garden, Rugosa and her new Madame Butterfly prints.”

Colefax & Fowler

“Floral prints have such historical importance” says Hanneke Swart of Mavromac, “but they need to evolve and meet the needs of a new generation. Traditional houses such as Colefax & Fowler have responded brilliantly to this by using crisper designs, more contemporary palettes and incredible quality linens instead of glazed chintzes.

The brand and the history are there, but you’re getting a fantastic new take on it.”

48

WORLD TRIBE THE IKAT EVOLUTION The epitome of globally stylish ethnic design, the Ikat remains a strong trend and works beautifully with the abundance of geometric and more retro-inspired prints. “The Ikat was born out of an appreciation for crafted textiles that had a tribal feel yet were incredibly sophisticated,” says Haidee. “There is something timeless and classic about the design and most interpretations tried to imitate the complex dyed and woven effects. The new-look Ikats are fresh and more contemporary with a smart simplicity and clarity of design and form.

“Many of the contemporary American designers rely on Ikats to portray a love of pattern and introduce layering,” adds Gary. “In the top-end market especially, they’re used to convey a sense of wordliness and global travel.”

The younger market is having a strong influence on pattern. They may not have the understanding of archival prints such as toiles, but they’ll choose that toile in a shocking pink or burnt orange and they’ll know just how to use it.

Lewis & Wood

ARTISANAL PRINTS THE ULTIMATE LUXURY

Turning back the clock, artisanal designers are becoming sought after for small quantities of fabrics produced in a directional way. Designers such as Lewis & Wood, Christopher Farr and Robert Kime all have custom ranges that allow for truly bespoke interiors – as do several of our local fabric houses. “Going the artisanal fabric route says a great deal about the client and their choices,” comments Gary. “It’s automatically a costly option, but for that sector of the market the appeal lies in the exceptional quality and exclusivity.”

NOSTALGIA PAST MEETS PRESENT

Sanderson Maycott

Amid all the global turmoil and economic uncertainty, there’s a renewed appreciation for heritage and tradition – the reassurance of things known and loved since childhood.

Retro prints and geometrics are following in the pastel-toned footsteps of fashion, and a whole new generation is falling for 1950s inspired design.

“With their invaluable archive, Sanderson is a great example of interpreting different eras in a way that captures the modern imagination,” says Gary. “Whether the designs are rooted in the arts and crafts movement or fifties’ glamour, their stalwart fans have always loved the sense of history. And their younger audience gives that same heritage a fresh retro spin.”

Multi-skilled and resilient, our local fabric designers deliver style, substance and accessibility in a challenging economy.

Tess Paterson speaks to three of SA’s sought-after brands

THE CUTTING CREW

the cutting crew

55

In 2006, self-taught illustrator Heather Moore began teaching herself simple screen-printing, using stencils she’d cut by hand. “I started a blog and opened an online shop in order to try and sell some of my products,” she explains.

“The items were well-received and lead to wholesale requests, and within a short time I found I had a growing business on my hands. I like to say that it’s a hobby that got out of control, but it’s evolved into a wellrun company. Together with my business partner Pearl Thompson, we have a shop and studio in central Cape Town, two online shops, and a wholesale business supplying stores worldwide.”

Heather describes her designs as individual, simple, clear and accessible.

“They seem to appeal to people all over the world who share my interest in the shapes, colours and styles inspired by mid-20th century design. I have my goods and fabric stocked in shops all over the USA, in Japan, Scandinavia, Australia, and of course here at home. My designs communicate my appreciation for the pared-back modernist aesthetic that values simplicity in style and honesty of materials.”

As far as production goes, Heather has kept the process determinedly local and human-scale.

“My base cloth is made in King William’s Town, and is professionally printed in Maitland. I have a mother-daughter cutting team

who cut all my fabric

products in my studio,

and a single seamstress

who has a studio of her

own in the Bo Kaap.”

SKINNY LAMINX The first Skinny laMinx products were tea towels and table napkins, and branching out into selling running metres of fabric is a fairly recent development.

“Fabric sales are growing, which is exciting for us. We sell fabrics to the trade through the Silk & Cotton Co, which is highly effective as many of our fabrics coordinate extraordinarily well.”

Looking towards 2013, Heather has plans to extend the Mini laMinx kids’ range, both on home ground and in an exciting collaboration with a US company. “I also hope to be producing more experimental, small-run, items and collaborating with other local designers and artists.” www.skinnylaminx.com

LULA FABRICS

57

When it comes to international on-trend appeal, delivered in a fresh and savvy way, Lula Fabrics has become the local go-to brand.

“Apart from our distinctive designs, the Lula price point has been an important part of our success,” says owner Melissa Kerkhoff.

“I believe our products are affordable. We’re trying very hard to keep mills and printers from going out of business, while retaining the look, feel and standards that we’ve created. Because our fabric is produced in SA, there’s a misconception that this is a cheaper option. But it’s way more expensive that produced in China!”

Lula Fabrics’ current collection, Silk Road, was inspired by Melissa’s love of handcrafted, ancient textile designs.

“I’ve always loved the textured, woven and strié (natural, soft striped) effects which reemerged with the Ikats and Suzanis of a few years ago.”

In her designs Sarawak and Kashgar, Melissa used a negative and positive version of the same Ikat-type motif, while Timur is a glorious six-colour Suzani. The collection ties together with key cotton plains and Filigry – an intricate, florally curtaining co-ordinate.

“Lula Fabrics had always kept to a certain colour scheme which was both part of our brand and extremely user-friendly for decorators,” says Melissa. “This season we’ve thrown a gorgeous burnt red and salmon into the mix. It’s earthy, on-trend and works beautifully with the existing palette of seafoam, aqua and chartreuse.”

Being a smaller, hands-on fabric house, Lula Fabrics is able to offer a custom-colour service. “Clients can choose any of our designs and have it printed in a colour of their

choice. It’s a wonderful addition to bespoke projects, and we have minimum orders of 50m.”

Melissa has just opened a dedicated showroom in Joburg’s Kramerville, and is in the process of developing an on-line shop. “Our range of accessories is proving very popular, including ottomans, handbags, shoes and floor cushions. At the moment these are sold via our countrywide showrooms, but our aim for 2013 is to have a stronger retail presence on-line.”

Given the challenging economy and the demise of many local mills and printers, surviving as a small player is admirable.

“Circumstances are tough,” says Melissa, “but South Africans aren’t sissies. I’ve seen many of my colleagues in the industry using creative, innovative ways to succeed. It’s all about buckling down and making it work.

We’re a very tenacious nation.” www.lulafabrics.co.za

DESIGN TEAM

the cutting crew

59

On the brink of opening their flagship showroom and retail space in Cape Town, the much-admired duo behind Design Team can only be described as dynamic.

“The new space will represent the total Design Team experience in every respect,” says co-owner Lise Butler. “We will showcase our fabric ranges, furniture samples and décor accessories, as well as our new children’s clothing collection, Sillybilly. It’s a whole brand under one roof, and a natural progression from our beginnings eleven years ago.”

The brand has long been perceived as the must-have option for off-beat prints telling a South African story, and Lise and her partner Amanda Haupt continue to deliver new and funky designs.

“We’ve always been inspired by what’s around us, and our ability to tell a story through our designs is what sets us apart.

Our latest collection is decidedly in-yourface, and includes local icons like the rhino and Mrs Ples. With this range we’re digging deep, and it’s both intellectual and sophisticated, but with our ever-present quirky touch.”

Design Team is one of the few firms still supporting local mills, and for their Olka Polka clothing range, order 12 000 metres of locally knitted fabric each month.

“We work with mills and dye-houses in Durban and Cape Town, and the quality is far superior to the imports.”

The team has spent the past four years streamlining its production into an efficient, sustainable machine.

“We’re at the next phase where we can develop and grow new business,” explains Lise.

“Having almost total control over our manufacturing is an enormous advantage. We can offer custom work, for instance, so designers can offer their clients total exclusivity.”

As far as trends go, Lise sees the homeware direction following right behind fashion.

“Heading into 2013 our apparel will be strong on pastels, and this will flow into the fabric ranges and accessories. With the popularity of social media, people see and want things instantly. So as much as we’re influenced by trends, we certainly don’t see it as the be all and end all. If we’re passionate about something, regardless of its origin, then we’ll pursue it.”

And when their new ranges appear, don’t be surprised if you hear it first on twitter.

“We think the inherent formality of fabric launches is over,” says Lise. “Facebook and twitter provide amazing, instant feedback, and we see them as powerful information tools. There are so many creative ways to market your products and inform the world about what you’re doing.”

HEATH NASH Tell us about your latest range The Recession Range is a series of smaller products based on my previous collection of pendant lights. They’re sweet little things – less expensive to make and more economical to buy. They come flat-packed and have been very well received, especially by the younger end of the market.

You’ve worked on some large-scale installations. Which one was most exciting?

I really enjoyed the over-scaled chandelier we made from green wine bottles for Spier’s new wine-tasting space.

Where are you heading in 2013?

I will be offering services and experience to different producers and artisans who may

Lighting Designer

not have products that suit the market, but who make beautiful things.

What makes South African design great?

We’re a hands-on nation that’s adept at dealing with reality. All our issues in SA present huge opportunities to solve problems, innovate and educate in terms of design. It’s the most exciting place to be right now.

Where are you travelling to next?

To Guatemala. The South American people have exceptional skill sets, and I’d love to do some collaborative projects. www.heathnash.com

63

ANTHONY HARRIS & GERARD SWART Tell us about your latest designs We’re combining a sense of heritage with a contemporary spin, such as classical shapes mixed in with unusual handles.

How has living in the Cape countryside influenced your work?

We’re constantly fascinated by nature, and continue to incorporate organic elements with geometric shapes. At the moment we’re renovating an old Cape Dutch farmhouse, and the architectural shapes and sense of history are very inspiring.

Which colours are you loving right now?

We’re working with a strong Cobalt blue, and experimenting with clean shapes in fresh pastel shades. We still love our favourite rich olive green.

Ceramic Designers

What are your latest international ventures?

We’ve designed some nature-inspired pieces for West Elm in the USA, and we’ll attend the Artisan Resource Fair, part of the New York International Gift Fair, in August.

We also have an ongoing presence at The Conran Shops and Anthropologie stores. It’s important to connect with all our customers which we do via our blog.

What’s the greatest appeal of South African design?

That it’s bold and definite and focused there’s so much ritual and purpose behind it. www.ceramicmatters.blogspot.com

master class

64

LEE-ANN BELL Tell us about your latest range We’ve just launched the Dansk range which is inspired by my love of mid-century modern pieces, with a distinctly Scandinavian twist. It’s made up of the Dansk server and sofa and the Pebble coffee table – each with a nod to vintage pieces of the 50s and 60s.

What materials did you choose?

We’ve combined oiled oak with ducoed accents for a modern spin. There’s a hint of chartreuse yellow in there too.

What are the key elements of good design?

Proportion and detailing. And the avoidance of over-design. I’m a big believer in less is more, in keeping things pared down and simple.

Interior Designer

Where is South African design heading?

I think there’s a real hunger for South African products. We see a lot of interest from European design blogs, and there’s no doubt we can compete with the international players.

Is the SA market supportive of local design?

Definitely. People want to buy local, and they’re becoming far more conscious of where and how things are made. Quality is in demand, and people are looking for beautiful designs that last. www.mezzanineinteriors.co.za

MEGAN HESSE & ANDREA KLEINOOG Tell us about your latest design The Bankie was inspired by the idea for communal seating that’s similar to that of a church pew. At its heart, the design is honest and pure, and we chose to work in solid oak and mild steel. It’s just been launched through Southern Guild, and we’re hoping that people will appreciate the concept of sharing a space/seat.

Your Lab Light designed in 2009 has achieved iconic status. How has it been received internationally?

We have sold the rights to the Lab Light to a Danish manufacturer and distributor.

Soon it will appear in the front window of renowned interiors store Illums Bolighuis in Copenhagen.

Interior Designers

Where do you think South African design is heading ?

Local designers are focusing more on our own environment, rather than trying to mimic European trends. We think that in 2013 there will be even more urban revival, from urban planning to product development.

What’s your favourite material to work with?

To be honest, anything in its raw form.

How do you unwind?

HAVE A HEART

Design is taking centre stage when it comes to creating for a good cause.

By Tess Paterson

Design for good – the meaningful connection between a designer and a worthy cause – has never been more relevant than it is today.

Need is everywhere, and in the world of good causes, designers have the option to choose key projects that align with their creativity, skills and experience.

And while their services are free, donating time and professional input often leads to business referrals, and there’s also the marketing spin-off of positive feedback from beneficiaries. Perhaps most attractive to many designers, is the carte blanche on creativity that often comes with lending a helping hand.

“Pro bono work is very important and we choose one project each year,” says Pieter Mathews of Mathews & Associates Archi-

tects. “But as with any normal project, we have set conditions in place, such as design freedom, collaborating only with a non-profit accredited organizations, and ensuring the project will be accessible to the public.”

“You’ve got to have good back-up for design to go somewhere,” adds product designer Joe Paine, “which is why our collaboration with the M-Net Cares Café at Decorex SA and the Naledi Children’s Literacy Project (see below) worked so well. It began with design, but the whole value chain of sponsorship, marketing, materials and manufacturing were in place. Once that’s working, there’s enormous potential to do good.”

With so much scope for impacting lives in SA, Detail looks at successful projects where design, business and genuine need have found just the right fit.

THE NEW JERUSALEM CHILDREN’S HOME

Dook for VISI

Ten years ago, visionary sisters Anna and Phina Mojapelo founded the New Jerusalem Children’s Home (NJCH) on a smallholding in Midrand. Their aim was to care for abandoned, orphaned, vulnerable and HIV positive children. Having long outgrown the existing buildings, NJCH was in urgent need of expansion. Rather than impersonal dormitory-style rooms, their hope was for separate houses that would feel like real homes. Enter Sean Wall and Mia Anfield of 4D and A Architects, who designed the first of three stunning living spaces, each accommodating 25 children.

“During one of our visits we saw a container that was being used for extra storage,” says Sean. “It sparked the idea of incorporating a container system into the design, and we contacted US architect Adam Kalkin for advice.

Adam is renowned for his use of shipping containers in sustainable design projects, and he provided invaluable input on NJCH.” Sean explains that here at home, containers are seen as either spaza shops or part of a construction site. “Initially it was hard to sell on paper. But once our donors understood

the concept, that you can stack fully insulated, waterproofed containers on a concrete base – it soon gained momentum.”

Not only did this solution come in way below the price of bricks and mortar buildings, but numerous companies generously donated both skills and products. “About one third of the requirements was either donated or provided at cost,” says Mia. Making the building as green as possible, the design includes solar heating, photo-voltaics for lighting, an insulating roof garden and biodegradable effluent system.

The team is planning two more living spaces, and well as offices and a chapel. “We’ve been given free reign, and as long as it meets the children’s requirements, it’s almost like playing with Lego,” says Sean. “Our feedback from the house mothers is that the children take so much pride in their space, that they’re more responsible about their possessions.

There is a huge need out there, and from the big corporates to the one-man bands, we found people incredibly willing to help.” www.4da.co.za www.newjerusalemchildrenshome.org.za

M-NET CARES CAFE DECOREX SA 2012

As part of an initiative by the M-Net Naledi Children’s Literacy Project, local designers were asked to create pro bono book case designs that would appeal to primary-school children. The finished products formed part of the M-Net Cares Café at Decorex Joburg, and together with generous book donations made throughout the shows, were to be presented to various libraries. These are three of the designs.

FUNDA SHELF “We based our design on the isiZulu word Funda, which means to read.” says Georg van Gass of Goet. “It’s a very literal take on the brief, with the writing forming an integral part of the construction. While it’s practical, there’s also an underlying message about the power of literacy behind it. With so many story-telling traditions being lost, reading opens the world of knowledge, wisdom and make-believe. This enables the reader to see the underlying meaning in literature and life.” www.goet.co.za

PLAY LIKE ME “I liked the idea of displaying books in a less conventional way, while still adhering to my clean-lined aesthetic,” says product designer Joe Paine. “It’s functional and good-looking, and I think the 45 degree angle and dramatic colours will appeal to children. It’s a modernist design at heart, but it’s playful too, and children get that.” www.joepaine.co.za

SAFE HOUSE “Part of the brief was to make a child smile,” explains interior designer Megan Hesse of Anatomy Design. “We liked the idea of an old-fashioned doll’s house – something beautiful that opens up into a safe and private place to read. The design allows for bookshelves as well as a seat, and there’s a pleasing sense of nostalgia to it.” www.anatomydesign.co.za

NIGHT VISION These colour-changing LED floodlights are just the thing for night-scaping your garden. With a lifespan of up to 20 times that of traditional incandescent floodlights, they’re cost-efficient and have a lower carbon footprint. Free of lead, mercury and UV rays, they also generate less heat, making them plant-friendly. With a click of the remote you can alternate between five colours, with the option of strobe, gentle fade or fixed colour settings. www.lightingwarehouse.co.za

UPSIDE DOWN Designed by Patrick Morris, The Boskke Sky Planter from L’Emile et Son in Parhkurst turns gardening on its head. Overcoming the challenges of limited space, it defies gravity thanks to a locking disc which secures the soil and plant in place. An internal irrigation system limits evaporation and dripping, and the ceramic and stainless steel components create a stunning pendant garden. www.l-emile-et-son.com www.bosske.com

FRIENDLY FIRE Calore’s stylish pellet stoves burn biofuel that’s made from offcuts and waste wood from our timber industry, as well as alien vegetation. The greatest advantage of using pellets is the reduction in our dependence on fuels like coal, gas and oil. Clean-burning and ef efficient, the stoves are available as freestanding or built-in designs. www.calore.co.za

“Planting a tree not only contributes to the environment, but it’s a real chance to watch and learn about the natural cycle,” says Sean Hide of Grow a Tree. Sean now has 27 varieties of tree seeds to choose from, each packaged in an easy-to-plant, hessian starter pack. “We include information on each tree, as well as a map of the appropriate regions,” he explains.

A great teaching concept for primary schools, the seeds also make a meaningful green gift.

IN A SPIN Using centrifugal force instead of heat to remove moisture from your clothes, Spindel is a laundry dryer worth watching. In just three minutes, up to 80% of moisture is removed from your washing.

You can finish it off on the line, or run a significantly shorter cycle in your tumble drier. Compact and safe for all fabrics, Spindel has a 4,5kg capacity, and uses just 15 Watts compared to a tumble dryer cycle of around 3000 Watts. Available at selected appliance stores. www.spindel.co.za

8 People have to eat fresh, homegrown food to enjoy the optimal health benefits,” says Jacques Damhuis of Positive Cycle. But the longer the delays in getting food to the consumer, the quicker the nutrients, such as vital natural sugars, are lost. So why not become an urban farmer? Through Gro4U, Jacques installs and maintains veggie gardens in the Joburg area, and also runs training workshops on growing food biodynamically. His motto, ‘Make your garden edible and incredible!’ 078 732 4405. www.sites.google.com/site/growyofood

US-based Modern Twist produces stylish tableware with a pared down aesthetic using food-grade hand-silkscreened silicone. Created in collaboration with independent artists and designers, the products are free of BPA, latex and chemicals, with a minimal carbon footprint – and these place mats look great too! www.l-emile-et-son.com
