Cape Town based furniture designer has it spot on when re cycling old furniture styles.
Taking the old Cape furniture tradition and incorporating it cleverly into his designs the results are stunning.
Inspired by the Ngunis and their forward curving horns, the traditional cattle of the Zulu People, Vogel Living Design has created this sleek and stylish Ngunis Chair. The chair has a woven seat that resembles of the traditional riempie seats of the early European settelers in South African.
I would eat my left arm for these.....I noticed it when visiting Bistro 1862 on Steenburg Estate as all the dining furniture is done by Vogel. Bistro 1862 is a treat to the eye and palate; they do Steenburg wine tastings in the evenings served with fabulous tapas, overlooking vineyards and looking up to the mountian, really a place not to miss when in the Fairest Cape.
This has reminded me of another outstanding Cape furniture designer.....I will do an entry on him soon....bet you cant wait!!!
