Talk about outdoor relaxation and lazy Sunday’s, china hanging swing chairs are the next trend. Need we say more? Just from the image, one would know where exactly to place it, whilst you feel time pass away in supreme comfort and serenity
Feelings that rise by the touch of someone’s hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith – all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well – (Bernie Siegel) Such was the impression we got from HIFA (Harare International Festival of the Arts) 2017. Ranging from theatre and dance shows and delicious food stalls, the craft section captured our hearts the most. And of the many stalls we visited, we have selected the ones that were most appealing to us and we thought our readers would enjoy. We hope the re-ignite your creative side and give you new ideas on what you can add to your décor
Top of our list was the mini cooper bonnet chair by Samansco. What we found captivating about this piece of art work was how scrap was turned into glam. If ever you wondered what to do with the broken down car in your back yard, Samansco is the go to guy. This captivating chair would do well in your garden, facing the pool and watching the sunset while your sipping on some rose’. It also wouldn’t feel out of place at the office. You know those hot summer days when the heat makes it difficult to concentrate on meeting with your clients? When you’re constantly distracted by the view of that cool shade produced by the garden tree in the premise? Well that’s where you can place this very same chair. Not only does it create a unique vibe in your office garden but it also serves as a comfortable meeting space outside the office.
Wood. Yes, second on our list was the cherry lampshade and matching side tables by majig. Cherry is known to be very strong hard wearing wood, it’s built to last (imagine that). And wait for it, generally found in antique furniture. To spice up the lampshade, a neat tribal print cover crowned the head of this majestic antique piece, an African feel. This set would look great placed either in the bedroom or even in your study room. Or for that wow effect, why not show it off in your office. Its antiqueness would be purely highlighted during those nights when you work late in your office.
Capture those moments when you go out. Right inside the art gallery is a little cafe. A Sanctuary like its name describes. A vibrant colourful wall is the first thing that captures your eye. Despite the friendly staff and the synchronised colourful wooden chairs, it’s a modern day Utopia. A perfect spot for pictures; for all you selfie lovers. After a night out there, preview your images with the wall background and you will wonder which paradise you had been in.
