CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
The PPD team’s interest in, and resulting visit to Cape Town, South Africa in 2015 was stimulated by the desire to participate in two prominent design conferences, the World Design Capital and Design Indaba. Outside of the conferences, we wanted to learn more about the many unique South African ethnic groups and how these diverse groups influence the physical aesthetics and spirit of Cape Town.
MaxHosa, Unknown Unknown, and Corner Store. These brands focus on pushing South Africa’s colorful and intricate style to the world, specifically through the clothes they create; from Bumba blanket jackets to infusing tribal wear into modern clothes. In addition to the clothing brands, we sought to learn more about SAOTA, a prominent South African architecture firm, and gain insight into their point of view as it relates to the purpose and importance of architecture in South African society.
