We held a fantastic event at our Twiice Cape Town showroom on Thursday 3rd April - fifteen second year designers from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology exhibited miniatures of iconic designer products, and prizes for the three best were handed out!
It was an unenviable task of choosing a winner as the talent was more than impressive - every single piece was overwhelmingly impressive, and to think that these students were only second year! It makes me more excited to know that this is the future of design in South Africa, that these New Kids on the Block have so much to offer!
Third place went to Cara Brink for the Rietveld Red & Blue chair, second to Craig van de Ruit for his Noguchi Rocking Stool and the winner was Kieran Mans for his perfectly crafted miniature of the “Hill House” - the original designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The passion of students was evident and the excitement of both the young upcoming designers and our Twiice clients was one that re-affirms my belief that this is the way to go - lets focus on design in South Africa, because the potential is palpable - put the investment in and what will come back is only reward - of this I am convinced!
