Design with a sense of Humour - by Dave Nemeth

Image
As we look forward to future trends, we start to see a very interesting development starting to take place, a development so quirky and fun it is bound to bring a smile to anyone’s face. It is as if we have come to realise that we are sick and tired of all the doom and gloom of the recession and it is time to have fun and stop taking ourselves so seriously. As consumers, we want to smile and embrace all things positive and without a doubt, we want to smile in our homes when we do have those rare moments of free time. Worldwide, this new approach to design sees an exploration of fantasy, fairy tale and the imaginary, sometimes even bordering on kitsch; these designs uplift the spirits and make great points of interest in even the most conservative of homes. On the lighting front, this is especially obvious as we see a move on from just pure scale like we saw a few years ago with oversized angelpoise lamps, which were remodelled into standing lamps, giving one the feeling of...

South Africa; no longer lagging behind, in the design field. By Dave Nemeth

The more I travel the more evident it becomes just how the trend and design gap between South Africa and the international markets are closing.

It is important to understand that markets are driven by consumers and even though we have world class designers and architects’, being up to date and forward thinking is not always accepted by clients and consumers. The majority of the famous international brands in decor, fabrics and f...

Chair Trends by Dave Nemeth

Image
One of the oldest pieces of furniture is the chair, this functional piece has its origins dating  back to the Stone Age, where Archaeological evidence of sculptural relics at Neolithic building sites suggest chair and bench-like areas. Ancient Egypt has some of the earliest surviving physical examples of the Western world’s use of chairs. Egyptian tombs that have been unearthed contain chairs and stools from as far back as the Egyptian Old Kingdom, about 2680 B.C., well preserved by Egypt’s dry air. Regardless of how far back the design of the chair dates it is the continual evolution and constant reinvention of this exceptionally functional piece of furniture, which continues to intrigue. From British Louis chairs to American Chippendale chairs, almost every notable and world famous designer and architect has at some stage designed a chair, this includes the likes of Macintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier all the way through to Philippe Stark and Karim Rashid.
