South African craft is cool. The handmade is the mother tongue giving rise to a new African design language which blends the urban with the organic, the neo with the natural, and the sophisticated with the rustic.

The fusion of traditional craft techniques and high-design are evident in hanging lamps that look like beaver’s nests or grass mats woven by the nimble hands of basket weavers. Age-old practices like felting, weaving, beading, carving and ceramics are used to make beautiful contemporary design with a resonance that just cannot be found in mass-produced items.
