Seven colours. Seven Sundays. One colourful celebration of food, design and neighbourliness. 🌈

This winter, Watershed joined our V&A Waterfront neighbour Marble for Seven Colour Sundays, bringing a much-loved South African food tradition together with the work of local designers and makers.

Across the season, Chic Fusion Razaan Jakoet , Zizamele Zizamele Ceramics , Cool Tabs cool-tabs , Afrographic Studio AFROGRAPHIC , Beloved Beadwork Anna Richerby , Mia Mélange Mia Mélange , Project Dyad Project Dyad and Wild Skins Saliou Diop brought each colour to life, with their locally made pieces forming part of the campaign and Sunday experience. (V&A Waterfront⁠)

From the plate to the product, it was a celebration of the creativity that lives within our neighbourhood — and what becomes possible when food, design and local makers share the table.

That’s V&A Waterfront neighbourliness in full colour. 🌈
