The Cape Quarter’s Design Now!, which kicked off last week, isn’t just about great design – it’s also set on giving back.
On the evening of the launch, members of the design community auctioned a selection of their furniture in aid of Rock Girl. This charity initiative will donate these funds to the Art Room at Manenberg’s Red River School, a beneficiary of the Cecile & Boyd’s Charity Foundation.
Some of the pieces that were auctioned include:
– The Collaboration Bench by Pierre Cronje and painted by Kirsten Eser of the Freeworld Design Centre
– Three unique chandeliers designed from the legs of Pierre Cronje chairs, made by Kobus of Hout Design
– A set of VIPP collector’s items from Victorian Bathrooms, including a stainless steel laundry bin and an eight-litre pedal bin
– A bed throw from Private Collections
– A rug from Gonsenhausers Rugs
– An upholstered chair from Cecile & Boyd’s
