What a night! We had a wonderful crowd at AAFRICAA last week as the exhibition, Field Notes: Nature Recast, showcasing the latest collection by Laurie Wiid of Laurie Wiid van Heerden, officially opened. There was a lovely buzz in the store, great music and plenty of conversation, with AAFRICAA’s favourite DJ, Thabelo Tlale setting the mood and wines from The Chocolate Block and Cap Maritime keeping glasses happily topped up. A celebration of creativity, good company and a new body of work inspired by the natural world. Just the way we like to do things at AAFRICAA. Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a memorable evening. Field Notes: Nature Recast is now showing at AAFRICAA, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town for the month of November. One not to be missed!

As lovers of all things creative, we couldn’t be happier that the ’s inaugural Busker Festival kicks off right outside our door! For two days, the Waterfront becomes a stage for over 40 local and international performers, popping up across 11 locations. Think music, magic, acrobatics, dance, living statues and all sorts of unexpected delights. We’re all for creativity in its many forms, and there’s something rather lovely about a weekend that invites you to slow down, wander and discover something new around every corner. So, when you’re here for the festival, come on in and explore our world of contemporary African design, from the makers and their stories to the beautiful things they bring into the world. 31 October – 1 November | 12:00–19:30 📍 AAFRICAA, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Free to enjoy!

We love seeing young talent shine! Craft School South Africa is a new non-profit training programme giving young people aged 16–25 the skills to build a future in craft. As its first year comes to a close, the school celebrated with a runway show attended by industry insiders and sponsors. CEO and visionary fundraiser Justin Van Breda opened the show by reflecting on how the school is evolving. At its heart is skills training, but something wonderful has emerged along the way: a discovery of just how much creative talent these young makers have to offer. And the runway was the perfect place to see it for ourselves.

What happens when one of South Africa’s leading designers turns his attention to nature? Prepare to be surprised. We’re incredibly excited to present Field Notes: Nature Recast, a bold new collection of ceramics by Wiid Design, under the direction of acclaimed designer Laurie Wiid. Opening on 30 October, this remarkable body of work pushes the boundaries of ceramic art and design - taking the natural world as its starting point and transforming it into something entirely unexpected. Sculptural wall reliefs of flora and fauna, alongside seed pods, masks and turtle shells - familiar forms reimagined with extraordinary creativity, bringing a new dimension to contemporary interiors. Glazed in rich, earthy colours, each piece makes a statement while celebrating the beauty, complexity and ingenuity of nature. Discover Field Notes: Nature Recast at AAFRICAA. An exceptional new collection, and one not to miss.

What makes a neighbourhood feel alive? Sometimes it’s the people, the architecture, the colours or simply the way a place makes you feel. Sea Point has that feeling in abundance. We’ve been noticing the morning coffee stops, the ocean and Promenade, the local style and the energy of Regent Road. A neighbourhood of old favourites and new discoveries, always changing, always interesting. And we’ve decided we’d like to be part of it. Soon, AAFRICAA will bring our world of contemporary African design, unexpected finds and stories worth sharing to Sea Point. More soon…
