BUSINESS Primrose Charmz
HER WORK Architectural technologist
Primrose Chimhanda has used her passion for creative design to launch her first range of patterned scatter covers called Collection 27 – named for her age when she launched her company. Each design (pictured clockwise from top left are Lotus, Daffodil and Dandelion) is inspired by nature and geometry and is printed on 100% cotton.
“For me, these flowers symbolise empowerment,” says Primrose. “I want them to serve as visual motivation and as a reminder that as human beings we are stronger than we think; we have the power to overcome difficulties and emerge victorious on the other side.” Go to primrosecharmz.com or @primrose_charmz on Instagram.
HOW SWEET
Inspired by Liquorice Allsorts, Rolecia Janse van Rensburg developed the O-Ro cabinet handle using a 3D printer. “It can be interpreted as a smile, a sweet, a wink, a rainbow or a sunset,” she says. The handles cost R185 each or R350 for a pair at lightwelldesign.co.za.
