Pierre Cronje: furniture designer

Much to my excitement today i found out that our new lecturer, who will be joining us after the holidays..worked with and for Pierre Cronje, an astoundingly brilliant furniture designer based in Cape Town. I lived in Cape Town for a 2yr period a few years back, and his stores were always fascinating to wander around. And drool.

Some clients want perfection, but art cannot be perfect and perfection isn't art - between the two there is a place of natural beauty that I seek.

I have an upcoming trip this month planned for Cape Town, maybe I should combine my love for CT, wine and design..and go visit La Motte with camera in hand. Watch this space!
