Natural order
After its debut at Decorex Cape Town, the Botanical Office will make its way to the show in August. This award-winning display reimagines the workplace environment by transforming what’s stereotypically a purely functional space into one that fosters productivity and wellbeing. Creative director Cathy O’Clery will incorporate residential furniture, layered textures and objects of interest - created by some of SA’s biggest talents - into an office set-up that offers viewers a fresh alternative. In Jozi, the Botanical Office will feature designers and brands such as: The New Modernist, Southern Hospitality, Kino, Entrawood, Hoi P’loy and Evolution Product.
