It started with a wooden sun lounger and a tin of oil. Mobelli founder Alon Sachs had bought what seemed like a reasonable piece of outdoor furniture, only to spend more time maintaining it than enjoying it. “There was nothing relaxing about it,” he recalls. “It felt like I was working for the furniture, instead of the furniture working for me.”

That frustration became a business idea. Together with his brother Aviv, Alon set out to build furniture that was beautiful, durable, and genuinely hassle-free. Outdoor furniture that could handle the elements without demanding anything back.

From Outdoor to the Whole Home

As Mobelli’s outdoor reputation grew, so did the conversation with clients. The same desire for quality without compromise, for furniture that genuinely fits into daily life, extended naturally indoors.

Today, Mobelli’s indoor collections are built around the same philosophy: pieces that are considered, comfortable, and designed to adapt. Modular sofas that reconfigure as a household’s needs change. Deep, generous seating that makes comfort the priority. Flexible arrangements that work for how a home is actually lived in, not just how it photographs.

Beyond the Home

That reputation hasn’t stayed residential. Mobelli works with hotels, boutique lodges, and hospitality spaces across South Africa and beyond – from carefully considered outdoor terraces to fully furnished interiors. It’s a natural extension of the same brief: spaces that need to look exceptional and perform reliably, day after day.

Twenty Years On

Mobelli now has showrooms in Cape Town (Sea Point and Paarden Eiland) and Johannesburg (Illovo Square and Fourways Mall), and a client base that spans residential homes, interior designers, architects, and hospitality operators across Africa.

The collections keep evolving. But the founding idea has stayed exactly the same: furniture should work for the life you want to live.

Since its founding in 2011, Mervyn Gers Ceramics has become synonymous with enduring design, craftsmanship, and unique ceramic pieces that bring a playful spirit to any tablescape. And the latest collection from the celebrated Cape Town-based studio is just as delightful.

The Mother of Pearl collection draws its inspiration from the beauty of natural shells, translating the ocean’s shifting tones and soft iridescence into pieces that feel tactile, serene, and timeless.

“Its soft mineral tone harmonises with warm and cool palettes, pairing effortlessly with bolder colours while standing confidently on its own. The glaze reflects a broader lifestyle trend toward organic textures and tactile finishes. It’s inspired by nature and interpreted through a contemporary, subtle lens,” notes Sales Director Shireen Ridgway.

“We wanted to capture that understated glow in a glaze that rewards a closer look rather than demands attention. Mother of Pearl is about restraint, refinement and a gentle pearlescent quality that sits just beneath the surface,” says Founder and Creative Director Mervyn Gers. At launch, the glaze is exclusively paired with the new shell forms, creating a collection where surface and shape speak to one another. “It remains intentional and cohesive for now,” he adds.

Each piece is handmade in Cape Town, with variations in tone and surface celebrated as part of the craft. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to artistry and to creating objects that bring beauty to everyday life.

For Mervyn, Mother of Pearl is more than a new glaze. “For those seeking ceramic pieces that combine subtle elegance with tactile presence, the collection brings refined texture and understated luminosity to everyday interiors, creating objects that feel both intentional and lived-in.” mervyngers.com | @mervyn_gers_ceramics

For aesthetes and long-time admirers of Natasha Sideris and the Tashas Group, the launch of Tashas Home is an opportunity to bring Tashas’ signature warmth into their own space – an invitation to explore and live with pieces that have shaped the restaurants for two decades.

The concept for Tashas Home – a curated collection of crockery, glassware and collectable objects sourced from and used across the Tashas Group’s restaurants – is rooted in both practical experience and the desire to create something beautiful, deeply nostalgic and functional.

Located in Dolce Vita, an Art Deco building in the heart of Sea Point, the Tashas Home retail space reflects the Group’s signature design simplicity, with a focus on warmth and understated elegance. Natural textures and thoughtfully selected finishes create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the understated interiors provide a refined backdrop that allows the curated collection to take centre stage.

Pieces for living

The collection comprises crockery, glassware, linens and collectables sourced from and used across the Tashas Group’s restaurants over the past two decades. Each item has been selected for its craftsmanship and premium materials.

Tashas Home currently showcases a curated selection of pieces from three of the Group’s restaurant concepts, including tashas, Avli and Arlecchino:

The tashas range

Centred on crisp white crockery and simple glassware, the range is clean and timeless. White linen tablecloths and napkins complement the collection, reinforcing the brand’s classic, relaxed aesthetic.

The Avli range

Inspired by the Group’s Athenian-influenced locations in Dubai and Bahrain, the Avli range reflects Mediterranean influence with its bold detailing and textured finishes. The collection incorporates silver-toned metalware and statement serving pieces, alongside artisanal tableware that speaks to Avli’s Greek-inspired approach to shared dining.

The Arlecchino range

Inspired by the newly opened restaurant, the range introduces a more playful Italian dimension. Across the crockery selection, materials include porcelain, stoneware, earthenware and bone china in finishes ranging from slip-cast to hand-thrown. All pieces are chosen for balance, weight and durability.

The Tashas Home collection includes an array of glassware, linens and textiles, with each piece chosen for its material quality and designed for everyday use.

Over time, the intention is to introduce many of the Group’s 14 brands through capsule collections, offering South African customers a glimpse into the broader Tashas Group world beyond its local footprint. | tashashome.com

Colour is more than a visual accent – it’s an atmosphere, a destination, and a way of living. Le Creuset’s newest shade, Riviera, embodies this philosophy with a luminous blue-green tone that evokes the shimmering waters and golden sunsets of the Mediterranean coast.

More Than a Colour. It’s a Destination.

Riviera is not simply a hue; it’s a lifestyle. Its glossy surface recalls sunlit seas, while the refined gold knob reflects the timeless elegance of Mediterranean evenings. This shade invites you to bring the rhythm of coastal living into your home. Think breezy afternoons in seaside cafés, open-air dinners under fading light, and interiors that balance sophistication with ease.

The Art of Living Well

Le Creuset has always been synonymous with craftsmanship and enduring design. Riviera refreshes this legacy with a trend-forward palette that integrates seamlessly into contemporary spaces. Styled against minimalist neutrals, it offers understated elegance; paired with bold tones, it becomes a vibrant focal point. Riviera is versatile enough to complement modern kitchens, yet timeless enough to echo the artistry of Mediterranean architecture.

Discover the Riviera Collection

From the Cast Iron Round Casserole – perfect for slow-cooked meals that carry the warmth of coastal gatherings – to Stoneware London Mugs that shimmer like the sea, Riviera transforms everyday rituals into moments of escape. The Oval Casserole recalls the grandeur of shared roasts, while the Square Skillet Grill brings golden results indoors, echoing the spirit of al fresco dining. Even accessories like the Salt & Pepper Mills carry Riviera’s breezy elegance, elevating the art of the table.
