Copying and buying copies is one thing - a supplier of such prolific copies, such as Chair Crazy contacting Twiice International to purchase the original is a whole different picture - a rather satisfying one at that.Perhaps it has finally happened that the consumer is realising that the original goes further and is in effect, […]

Fraud: Once Bitten Twiice Shy!
July 8, 2009 – 9:39 am
One thinks they are savvier than to be caught by fraud, but the fact is that those that do it are aware of all the simple ways to out swindle because it is what they do, it is who they are - conmen! Recently Twiice International was on the receiving end, when a well-spoken man […]
The Starck Reality!
May 21, 2009 – 2:14 pm
I was wondering when it would happen as I am sure so too were many of you. There has been every other kind of reality show, from out in the “wild” (Survivor) to locked in the “wild” (Big Brother) - this moved to the modeling world, then the design world, the business world, practically every kind […]
Milan Fair 2009 - The Fair of all Fairs!
May 11, 2009 – 10:28 am
The Milan Fair has always been my favorite of Fairs – being in the design world it inspires me; not only Twiice suppliers but all suppliers come up with inspirations that make you amazed at the brains these creators possess – completely new, imaginative and out of the box. But this is not the only […]
Whisky Tasting @ Twiice
March 17, 2009 – 11:56 am
Both Twiice showrooms hosted a limited seating whisky tasting last night (Thursday 12th March) - and what a perfect way to end a busy day…sit down, learn about the drink at hand and catch up with clients and colleagues!
The evening was hosted by the College of Whisky - who did a fantastic job organising the […]
The Design Indaba…at the expo!
March 5, 2009 – 11:27 am
The Design Conference at the Design Indaba is known to be the best in the world, an idea of its stand is when such designers as Patricia Urquiola, the Bourollec brothers, Marcel Wander and trend forecastor, Li Edelkoort make their way to our windy shores, so that they can attend and speak!
My question though is […]
…at the Visi Designer of the Year Awards
March 5, 2009 – 10:49 am
“I don’t think I can have another drink,” I heard many a person say last week - and then as they grabbed for another glass of the bubble, the mumble would be, “maybe just one.”
This should be the quote of the week!
It was - as I am sure many of you know - the Visi Designer […]
Twiice Meets Patricia Urquiola
March 4, 2009 – 9:39 am
The Design Indaba made a busy week for the creative minds - it began for Twiice on Tuesday as the acclaimed and one of my favourite designers Patricia Urquiola spoke at the Axor press conference (she is to design a new range of their bathrooms, joining the likes of Philippe Starck and Antonio Citterio)
Twiice received […]
Design Frenzy!
February 18, 2009 – 4:19 pm
Design Madness is here with the Indaba starting in Cape Town next week. It is a crazy and exciting time of the year, as the passion of our industry is realised and talent emerges. I can feel that the minds are changing, slowly people are realising the importance of design and the longevity it holds […]
BlOfield in StOre
January 26, 2009 – 4:27 pm
It’s a chameleon in a bag; more than hot air - an item that can transform any area into your own living space; the BloField - it’s a sofa that makes furniture fun!
Imagine it in a field; on the beach, on your terrace, in the living room; in your office waiting room, imagine it that wherever […]
