At Home with Tashas

Tashas Home, the new homeware collection from Natasha Sideris, serves as a reminder that good design should be lived with, used often and built to last.

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
