We’re big fans of Brutalism at VISI, so when we heard that MADE – a UK-based, design-led homeware brand whose aim is to make high-end design accessible – was launching a new interiors collection with the Barbican, we knew it was going to be something special.

For those who aren’t in the know, the Barbican is arguably one of Britain’s finest examples of Brutalist architecture. Opened in 1982, the vast multi-use complex comprises a major arts and conference centre (the Barbican Centre) and a residential estate with its own network of walkways, gardens, schools and even a library.

Rooted in design history, yet focused on modern living, the MADE x Barbican collection reinterprets the interiors and features of the iconic estate for today’s lifestyles.

Throughout the design process, MADE’s in-house designers worked closely with the team at the Barbican, undertaking extensive research into the estate’s rich architectural and cultural history. Through a deeper study of the archival objects, the team discovered Miriam Howitt’s interior approach to furnishing the original show flats, which shaped the project’s direction.

The result is a 23-piece collection of furniture, lighting, textiles and accessories that channels a design language defined by bold geometric forms, modular layouts, grid structures and curved forms. Think sculptural silhouettes, layered materials and warm neutral hues, alongside moss greens, ochres and deep rusts. You’ll also find stained ash, chrome accents, woven fabrics and deep-pile textures.

The final designs reimagine products, graphics, and architectural details through a new lens, distilling them into a cohesive collection that captures the Barbican’s iconic essence while remaining entirely liveable. made.com | shop.barbican.org.uk

Beautiful furniture may catch your eye, but exceptional furniture creates a feeling. It invites you to sit longer, relax more deeply and enjoy the space around you.

As homes continue to become more personal and multifunctional, comfort is taking centre stage. As living rooms continue to evolve into softer, more relaxed spaces and outdoor areas feel like natural extensions of the interior, furniture is chosen for the experiences it helps create.

The secret to curating an interior is to ask how you want a space to feel. A generous modular sofa encourages connection and conversation; a sculptural swivel chair adds movement and personality; while deep, supportive outdoor seating transforms a patio into a place where lunches linger into late afternoons.

Materials matter too. Tactile fabrics, plush cushioning, AluOak® wood-look finishes and softly rounded forms bring depth and warmth to contemporary spaces. When it comes to outdoor living, performance is equally important. Weather-ready materials, easy-care finishes and dependable construction allow you to create a refined setting without making it difficult to live in.

Mobelli’s collections combine premium comfort with practical, hassle-free living. From adaptable modular lounges to elegant dining settings and inviting outdoor furniture, every piece is selected to help people enjoy their spaces with confidence.

As Mobelli celebrates its 20th anniversary, its philosophy remains refreshingly simple: furniture should look beautiful, feel exceptional and work effortlessly in real life.

Because true comfort cannot be fully appreciated on a screen. You have to sit down, settle in and experience it for yourself. | mobelli.co.za

Casa LV, a Cape Town-based homeware brand known for its beautiful, bespoke, hand-blown glassware, was born from a friendship between two women with very different, yet deeply complementary, relationships to glass.

“Lynne and Vilma have been dear friends for 35 years. From the beginning, creativity was always part of their friendship. They have both always been passionate about fashion, interiors, collecting beautiful things and working on creative projects together,” says Julia Hirsch, Marketing Manager at Casa LV.

Glass was something they both had a deep connection to. Lynne grew up around the industry as her father was involved in a glass factory, while Vilma, with her Italian roots, had always collected hand-blown glass and had an instinctive appreciation for it.

What essentially began as a passion project has naturally evolved into a growing family business, with Vilma’s daughter Lara joining as Projects and Wholesale Manager and Lynne’s daughter Julia coming on board as Marketing Manager. For Julia, this is what makes Casa LV special – “the foundations have never really changed. It is still built around genuine friendship, passion and a shared love of the product.“

Interestingly, Casa LV was not always destined to be a glassware brand. Lynne and Vilma initially experimented with ceramics and porcelain, but neither material was able to achieve the transparency, depth or colour they were imagining. Eventually, they returned to glass, and that became a major turning point for the brand.

Material Matters

For Casa LV, the raw material – glass – always comes first. “We think about what glass can do naturally rather than trying to force it into something it does not want to be. From an initial idea, we brief our artisans and begin prototyping. That process can take time, and the first attempt is very rarely the final one. There is a lot of refining of proportion, weight, colour and functionality before we feel a piece is right,” explains Julia.

Every vessel in the Casa LV range is mouth-blown and shaped by hand, meaning no two pieces are ever the same. “Finding the right glassblower was another process of trial and error. Once we found the artisan we work with today, there was a huge amount of persistence on both sides and it took close to two years of development to really achieve what Lynne and Vilma had envisioned,” says Julia. “The candle cloche was one of the greatest technical challenges. Unlike a traditional hurricane, ours is open at both the top and the bottom, which sounds simple but was incredibly difficult to execute correctly by hand. It became a tireless exercise in refining the form until it worked.”

One of the foundations of a Casa LV piece is its weight. The team work with three layers of glass, which gives the objects a wonderful solidity and presence. Julia explains that a practical consideration is always there – “a vase needs to comfortably hold flowers, an ice bucket needs to function as an ice bucket, and a cloche needs to work around a candle. For us, the best object sits somewhere between sculpture and utility. A Casa LV vase should be beautiful filled with flowers, but when the flowers perish, the glass should remain as an object in its own right.”

Colour Play

A sense of play is essential to Casa LV, whose colour palette is intentional but not calculated. “We usually begin by looking at international colour trends and what is emerging across fashion, interiors and design more broadly. From there, we interpret those influences through the Casa LV lens rather than following them too literally,” says Julia. “After almost a decade of working with glass, we have learnt which colours our customers return to again and again, so there are certain shades that have become Casa LV staples.”

From Cape Town to London and Beyond

While everyone within the team brings a different heritage and influence to the business, Casa LV is proudly crafted in Cape Town. “Casa LV simply would not be Casa LV if the product were manufactured somewhere else. Championing South African craftsmanship also means showing that locally made design can sit confidently on an international stage,” says Julia.

The brand has recently gone international, expanding to the UK through Julia’s London-based business Hue Haus. “One of the most rewarding things for me has been watching someone in London encounter Casa LV glass for the first time and respond to it in exactly the same emotional way that people do in South Africa,” she says. “Seeing Casa LV begin to find a home outside South Africa feels like the next chapter of the same story rather than the beginning of a different one. The roots remain firmly in Cape Town; the audience is simply becoming larger.” @casa.lv | @hue.haus.london

VISI is supporting this cool new initiative by The Mission for Inner City Cape Town and Plastic Pioneers, inviting designers, makers, architects, students and creative citizens to submit an original design for a public bench or seating installation. The brief is simple, but deliberately open-ended: create something robust, considered and appropriate for public space, using Plastic Pioneers’ recycled plastic sheets as the primary material.

The winning designs will move beyond the drawing board. They will be fabricated and installed in public space, featured in VISI Magazine, and showcased as part of Cape Town Furniture Week in February 2027.

For designers, the competition offers an opportunity to explore a material with both practical and aesthetic potential. Manufactured from post-consumer and/or post-industrial plastic waste, the recycled plastic sheet is durable, weather-resistant and low-maintenance – making it particularly suited to the demands of outdoor public environments. It requires no painting, sealing or regular surface treatment, while its colour variations, flecking and layered textures celebrate rather than conceal its recycled origins.

Entries are open to individuals, teams and businesses based within greater Cape Town, with entrants required to be able to fabricate their design or oversee its fabrication. Production costs for winning designs will be covered, with the recycled plastic material supplied at no cost, although proposals need to remain feasible within a reasonable fabrication budget.

So, if you’ve ever looked at a Cape Town street and thought there’s a better way to do this, here’s your opportunity.

The submission deadline is Wednesday 30 September 2026 at midnight. Enter now and help shape the future of public space in Cape Town.

The word Mesa refers to a flat-topped mountain or elevated landforms that have been formed over millions of years through the process of wind and water erosion. Softer rock layers cannot withstand the conditions, leaving behind the durable rock that creates the table-like formations. These earthly practices are what inform our ethos. Through carved bases, leathered marble tops, and hand-scratched details, this collection is a representation of what inspires our designs.

Using the relationship between light and texture, pieces build tension with their stillness. As light moves across each surface, it reveals the honesty of the materials, highlighting texture, form, and the subtle traces of erosion that informed the design.

Moyo Range

Monumental in presence yet refined in execution, the Moyo range explores the dialogue between mass and delicacy. Bold geometric forms are softened by nuanced detailing, while rich material contrasts reveal a sense of balance and restraint. Rooted in the language of sculpture, each piece celebrates the permanence of design.

Baza Range

Layered in form and rich in materiality, the Baza range explores depth through a bold, sculptural composition. Informed by our distinct marbles, the range showcases intensity with its dark tonality and hand-etched details. The blending of stone with Black Oil Mango wood reveals textured finishes and rhythmic grains, creating tactility and visual weight. Each piece in the range is defined by soft curvature and deliberate proportion.

WORDS AND PHOTOS Julia Franco

I am Brazilian, and I run a Brazilian design store in Cape Town. Although I left Brazil nearly 20 years ago and have since lived on three continents, some instincts never fade. I remain instinctively drawn to craft , to the human touch in objects and, inevitably, to colour. Distance has given me perspective, but it hasn’t diluted that connection. If anything, it’s clarified it. And the position I now occupy, between Brazil and Africa, sharpened that perspective. In South Africa, too, there is a profound respect for material, for land, for handwork. The dialogue between Brazilian and African craft feels less like import/export, and more like recognition. Both contexts understand scarcity, adaptation, and beauty born from process rather than polish.

So when I flew to São Paulo in February, invited by the Brazilian Association of Utilities and Gift Companies to visit its main fair, I went with curiosity and a long mental shopping list. I’d been before, but this edition felt different: bigger, busier, louder. Hundreds of exhibitors – Brazilian brands and international importers – all gathered in one place, offering a snapshot of what design looks like when industry and creativity share the room. Alongside long-time collaborators of NOSSO, I met a host of new designers and makers.

Some of the most exciting discoveries came from unexpected corners. Cleaning tools, for example – brooms ingeniously designed for pet hair, sponges capable of tackling everything from oil to paint. Even hotel china surprised me: porcelain dishes engineered to maintain the temperature of the food without burning your hands. It was proof that serious design can elevate ordinary objects. Aisle after aisle revealed the most random, inventive and captivating pieces. Walking through the halls, it struck me that Brazilian design mirrors its people– a little messy, theatrical, full of personality. Even the smallest objects seemed to pulse with life. It felt like coming home.

I also noticed an interesting shift: some designers are keeping their collections conceptually local while producing components abroad – in Peru, Turkey or China. It’s a curious but compelling mix, introducing new finishes and materials without losing that Brazilian soul.

Beyond the main fair, I made time to visit smaller, independent studios – the kinds of makers we’re drawn to at NOSSO. In these smaller spaces, work unfolds more slowly and thoughtfully. The visits offered a welcome counterpoint to the grandeur of the exhibition halls, with design revealing itself as a process rather than a product, deeply rooted in material knowledge and in the sheer joy of making.

I was particularly excited to visit an atelier I’d had my eye on for some time: Atelier Da Renata. Renata, a ceramics teacher, started making her own colourful jugs and plates almost as a hobby. Her passion project became something much bigger – so she hired some of her students and today runs a vibrant studio with nine younger artists. Every day at 11am, the kiln is opened and everyone gathers around to see what’s come from the firing, cheering one another’s pieces as they come out. It was genuinely special to witness this ritual; a small daily moment that captures the collaborative spirit of the atelier. Later in the afternoon, at 3pm, they pause again for cake and conversation – an informal for cake and conversation – an informal break dedicated to chatting about studio life. Sadly, I had to miss that, although I suspect it might be just as important to the creative process as the kiln itself.

The trip concluded with a second event, organised by the Brazilian Association of High-End Decor Furniture Industries. Here, ideas that I had seen quietly brewing over the past few years finally emerged, bold and self-assured. It felt like witnessing a creative language that was coming fully into its own.

Comfort, Craft, Materials, Curves, Retro…

I feel the Latino world has been trending, and there’s a special comfort in seeing this world up close. There’s a rhythm, a warmth and a bit of chaos that somehow makes sense. Bad Bunny’s success (yes, I’m a bit obsessed with him right now!) reminds us there’s so much happening in Latin America – music, art, design; an entire world that’s full of personality. With everything else feeling uncertain, it’s grounding to see the beauty in that little mess, that organised chaos, and how it translates into strong colours and organic forms.

Comfort and warmth are in. Everywhere I looked, deep, earthy tones were making interiors feel cosy instead of stiff. They aren’t only used on furniture and details, but on walls and flooring too, making the homes look like a safe space to live in. Fabrics that you want to touch – linen, bouclé, suede, leather – were everywhere, reminders of the idea that a home should be enjoyed and not just looked at.

Handcrafted pieces were presented on a strong setting. They aren’t nostalgic; they are current, confident. Natural materials were a highlight, especially wood mixed with stone or other organic touches. One of my favourite pieces is from a collection that adds natural stone to porcelain, giving an imperfect shape to vases.

I loved seeing materials play off each other: wood, metal, textiles, all working together in balanced ways. Curves are still everywhere, but they are sharper and more precise: it’s structure tempered by softness. Retro elements are also quietly coming back: straw, wicker and outdoor furniture reimagined, giving that familiar feel to new shapes. Upholstered pieces are generous and inviting, quietly waiting for someone to rest on them.

Between Factories and Craft

One of the trip’s biggest takeaways was seeing the industrial and the handmade worlds coexist. On one side, factories are producing with consistency; on the other, small studios are shaping clay, fibres and pigments by hand, with irregularity part of their charm. Rather than competing, these two worlds seem to strengthen each other.

Functional objects are no longer satisfied with efficiency alone. They now aim to improve daily rituals – sleeping, cooking, organising – with a sense of individuality. Even the most practical tools seem to carry a dose of poetry. One cutlery supplier, for example, presented an affordable set with plastic handles that perfectly mimicked leather; the illusion was so convincing you almost couldn’t tell the difference.

Playful, Thoughtful, Human

There was also a strong presence of responsible and thoughtful design – products built to last that are beautiful and comfortable. Authorial design and artistic ceramics are getting more attention in big Brazilian platforms, with an honest connection to materials, usage and time.

But alongside that seriousness, there’s playfulness. Figurative objects – ice buckets shaped like fruit, tables that looked like puzzles, tiny sculptural containers – show that humour and elegance can coexist. Interiors no longer have to be neutral; they’re a reflection of the people who live in them. Colour is a statement. Form tells a story. The tactile and the playful live side by side with confidence, suggesting layered interiors full of intention and character, where every element speaks of time: time devoted to making, time spent composing each layer, time invested in collecting and shaping a space. It felt, instantly, that this young, jovial Brazil is maturing – carrying its history and references with greater depth without losing its spirit.

The Streets in São Paulo

Walking the streets between appointments, I noticed that the city itself feels like a design laboratory. Graffiti, hand-painted signs, street stalls, bold tiles on building facades… all of it feels curated and chaotic at the same time. There’s something comforting about it, actually, because it feels familiar. It’s life in motion: messy, sure – but the chaos has rhythm.

Even small objects can tell a story. A handmade bowl at a fancy restaurant, a brightly coloured chair at the barber, a tiny sculpture hiding in a corner of a shop – they are calling your attention to the moment. It’s as if the makers are saying, “Slow down and look!” And in a world that can feel too fast, the message is comforting.

I also realised that even the shortest trip can change your gaze. I saw familiar colours and textures, but the combinations were new. There’s joy in seeing something traditional, like a straw chair or a clay vase, reinterpreted in a way that feels fresh. That tension between heritage and invention is exactly what makes Brazilian design so alive right now.

Brazilian Design in Transition

Across fairs and studios, the picture is clear: Brazilian design is evolving. It’s rooted in heritage, but open to technology, collaboration and new ways of telling stories. Shape and colour matter – but so does meaning and emotional connection.

For me as the curator at NOSSO, this trip is already shaping what we will bring in next. We don’t chase trends; we listen to makers and the direction design is taking, so we can translate this energy into objects that can live in different contexts while keeping their character intact.

The future looks playful and strong in identity, making even the most practical objects a little surprising. And through it all runs that Latino heartbeat: colourful, imperfect, joyful, reassuring. It’s a reminder that chaos and beauty are not opposites – sometimes, they’re the same thing. | nosso.co.za

Blunt & Co may have launched earlier this year, but the foundations of the South African furniture design business had been taking shape long before.

Founded by Melissa Tredoux – whose journey began in accounting before a growing passion for architecture and design led her in a different direction – and her husband Francois, an engineer, Blunt & Co was born from a fascination with the way furniture shapes everyday living. More recently, Adriaan Louw – an architect and President of the Pretoria Institute for Architects – came on board as a partner, bringing his extensive experience and discerning design approach to the brand.

Together, they approach furniture with the same principles that define thoughtful architecture: clarity of form, structural honesty, and meticulous attention to detail.

The design philosophy behind the brand is rooted in preserving the nostalgia and character of traditional South African furniture while reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. “For us, the relationship between tradition and contemporary design is not necessarily about preserving the original material or form of traditional South African furniture, but about retaining the feeling and nostalgia associated with familiar objects while allowing them to evolve,” says Melissa. “We often start with something recognisable like a typology, material or construction method and then reinterpret it through proportion, form and making.”

With Blunt & Co’s debut collection – the Archie and Charlie outdoor ranges – there is a strong emphasis on material, structure, proportion, and construction. Crafted with steel, aluminium, and wire, the collection celebrates materials chosen for their durability, structural integrity, and suitability for outdoor living.

“Our background in architecture influences the way we approach steel not simply as a material from which a piece of furniture is manufactured, but as both a structural and visual element that can define the form, character, and experience of the design. Architecture tends to operate at a larger spatial and contextual scale, whereas furniture is much more immediate and intimate, but that difference is precisely what interests us,” says Melissa. “The furniture becomes almost like a small piece of architecture where structure, material, human use and spatial experience are resolved within a single object.”

For Melissa, a collection of outdoor furniture provided the ideal foundation for the brand and its exploration of materiality and nostalgia. “I remember a simple traditional wire furniture set in our family garden that, over many years, became part of countless family moments and memories, and what stayed with me was its ability to remain relevant and meaningful through time. That led us towards outdoor furniture because it sits naturally between architecture, landscape and everyday life,” she says. “The outdoor environment is unforgiving, so sun, rain and changing weather demand honesty about material, construction, durability and maintenance, which ultimately led us to explore steel not only for its robustness but for its structural and aesthetic possibilities.”

The Archie and Charlie ranges, each comprising a three-seater bench, a lounge chair, and a table, are manufactured locally in small batches, allowing the team to remain closely involved throughout the process.

At its core, Blunt & Co believes that good furniture should embody the same qualities as good architecture: simplicity, permanence, and the quiet confidence to become more beautiful with time. @bluntcodesign

Positioned as the city’s first curated private members’ club, the new venue aims to bring together entrepreneurs, creatives, investors and cultural leaders in a setting designed to encourage conversation, collaboration and community.

While exclusivity is inherent to the private members’ club model, Maison Grace places equal emphasis on cultural exchange and meaningful connection. The club has been conceived as a place where members can meet over breakfast, work through the day, entertain clients, or attend an evolving calendar of dinners, wine tastings, talks, literary evenings and live performances.

“Maison Grace was born from a simple observation: when people with shared curiosity and purpose come together in the right setting, something quietly extraordinary happens,” says Development Director Samantha Wallace. “Our ambition was to create a place where people don’t simply visit, but genuinely feel they belong.”

The Art

Art and design are central to that vision. In collaboration with Southern Guild, Maison Grace has assembled a museum-quality collection of contemporary African art that transforms the club into a de facto satellite gallery for the Cape Town gallery, with every work available for purchase. Rather than serving as decoration, the collection has been curated to encourage reflection and conversation, introducing members to some of the continent’s most compelling artistic voices.

Among the highlights are Moroccan artist Amine El Gotaibi’s sculptural steel panel exploring Africa’s natural resources, Terence Maluleke’s evocative A Love Letter to Joburg paintings, and photographs from Zanele Muholi’s acclaimed Somnyama Ngonyama (Hail the Dark Lioness) self-portrait series. Iranian-born, Cape Town-based Kamyar Bineshtarigh’s distinctive glue-transfer works animate the staircase and dining spaces, while additional pieces by Patrick Bongoy, Jesse Ede, Alexandra Karakashian, Daniel Levi, Chuma Maweni, Nandipha Mntambo and Dominique Zinkpè further reinforce the club’s commitment to contemporary African creativity.

The Interiors

The interiors echo the same philosophy. Warm, tactile materials, intimate lounges and carefully considered detailing create spaces that are elegant without feeling formal, with works of art woven seamlessly into the architecture and daily experience of the club rather than confined to gallery walls.

The Food

The culinary offering has been developed in collaboration with Paris Society Consulting, the team behind Parisian restaurants LouLou, Gigi and Coco, balancing international sophistication with a distinctly South African identity. Local produce and wines sit alongside a globally inspired menu, reinforcing the club’s position as both a destination and a gathering place.

Maison Grace is backed by Kasada, the hospitality investment platform behind the neighbouring Cape Grace, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, bringing with it a strong emphasis on attentive service and discreet hospitality.

With membership intentionally limited and by referral, Maison Grace is less about exclusivity for its own sake than creating a community of people who actively contribute to Cape Town’s cultural and entrepreneurial landscape. As the city continues to establish itself as a global creative capital, Maison Grace hopes to become one of its most compelling new addresses – one where hospitality, art and design intersect as naturally as the conversations taking place within its walls. maisongraceclub.com | @maisongraceclub
