Women's Day at Freeworld Design Centre

I'm happy to see how many entries we have so far the Quote bag giveaway, looks like we chose the right bag! Today I wanted to tell you about Freeworld Design Centre and what they have planned for this Thursday. They will be changing their pods and launching a new “Spring Break” exhibition (you can see their previous exhibition here) in conjunction with a Women’s Day celebration in aid of the Safe Spaces Campaign which aims to raise awareness about the need for greater safety for women and girls.

They have a few other fun things planned for the evening (see the flyer below) but what appeals to me most is the 'Ball auction'! Freeworld has asked 45 leading creatives to create unique artworks out of yellow soccer balls which will then be auctioned on the night. So this is your chance to bid for a ball and grab a piece of local art! All proceeds will be going to charity. It sounds like such a great event! Below are a few sneak peeks of some of the balls that will be on auction. Aren't they amazing? So interesting to see how each artist has created such a unique look!

Yesterday I spoke about the Freeworld Design Centre and today I thought I'd take you on a virtual tour of their current exhibition. It runs until the end of July so there's still plenty of time to see it if you're in Cape Town. Four designers were given the brief ‘Openness to Explore’ and were encouraged to use brand new paint and coating products.

My favourite display is by Tracy Lynch, fun, colourful and quirky... just up my street! Tracy used Earthcote’s innovative new glass paint which is made from recycled glass beads. It adds a lovely texture and together with the hand stenciling, the effect is amazing!

Kerstin Eser created a dynamic window display using "upcycled" garments made from paint-splattered overalls created by Christopher Strong.

Neil Stemmet of Koncept created a beautiful living room with a wonderful variety of unusual and old world pieces. I love the colours and feel of this space.

And lastly Liam Mooney created a striking black on black display showcasing some of his new products.

Have you popped in to the Freeworld Design Centre in town yet? It's a fantastic, contemporary space offering plenty of inspiration. It is South Africa’s first trade-orientated design centre, and provides a décor consultation and 3D rendering service for architects, interior designers and decorators, property developers and owners. The Design Centre’s trained decor consultants are there to assist you in improving and upgrading your property for a modest cost. These consultants are all well known in the decor world and will certainly help you with their design savvy and decor skills.

They also have a design reference library and a newsstand selling a limited number of international and local magazine titles. I could quite happily spend hours there just gathering inspiration! And lastly the centre also holds exhibitions which change every few months, more about their latest exhibition tomorrow!
