Anna is both the steward of legacy and an original innovator. ‘My role is to carry [Weylandts] into the next 60 years, staying true to our values while thinking boldly about where we can go next,’ she says, reflecting on her position as Chief Brand Officer at the furniture and homeware company founded by her grandfather in 1964. When she joined the family business as a furniture buyer at 24, the role was still undefined. Today, the product design department is responsible for over 200 unique furniture pieces a year. Anna’s commitment to growth has led to a partnership with the esteemed designer Thebe Magugu, as well as the launch of StudioLandt, the brand’s affiliated interior design studio. With Anna at the helm, she guides a team committed to crafting deeply personal, context-rooted interiors that feel alive.

Founding Partner and Architect, SAOTA Cape Town

When thinking about South African architecture, it’s impossible not to turn almost immediately to Stefan Antoni, founding partner of SAOTA. Over the past four decades, he has collaborated with fellow principals to shape South Africa’s contribution to contemporary architecture and continues to influence the industry at large. He established Stefan Antoni Architects in 1986, later renamed SAOTA in 2008. His leadership across SAOTA, ARRCC, and OKHA Design Studio has propelled South African design onto the international stage. Despite having worked across six of the world’s seven continents, Antoni’s design ethos remains grounded. He is driven by the goal of offering clients an elevated quality of life, achieved through a sensitive understanding of context: climate, traditions, family structures, and light are among the essential principles he returns to.

ALTHEA PEACOCK

THE 100

Co-founder and Director, LEMONpebble Architects & Urban Designers Johannesburg Althea’s approach to architecture is deeply sensitive to South Africa’s dynamic urban identity. She leads a studio that treats architecture as both a spatial and social practice. At LEMONpebble Architects & Urban Designers, her work explores the ever-evolving role of the city in shaping collective consciousness, prompting designers to respond with empathetic, imaginative, and thoughtful solutions. Over two decades, Althea and her team have executed projects across multiple scales and contexts, each informed by the country’s complex legacies of spatial erasure and inequity. Prioritising dialogue and inclusivity, her work redefines what it means to design for and with people.

RENÉE ROSSOUW Artist and Architect Cape Town Trained as both architect and artist, Renée moves fluidly across disciplines: murals, products, renovations, spatial compositions, and colour-driven artworks that function like living grids. Her work has travelled widely — from the Venice Biennale to Madrid Design Net and Moscow Design Week — yet her practice remains deeply rooted in South Africa. She frequently collaborates with local manufacturers and makers, including co-creating IKEA’s first African collection. Whether working at the scale of a room or a single motif, Renée brings a clarity of intention: to elevate South African visual language on a global stage without simplifying its complexity.

THEBE MAGUGU @thebemagugu www.thebemagugu.com Photography by Courtney Patrick

05 Founder and Fashion Designer, Thebe Magugu Johannesburg There’s a subtle defiance in the way Thebe approaches his craft. His designs challenge perceptions and gender norms and invite reflection on identity and society. Born in Kimberley, he grew up immersed in the textures of South African life — influences he carries into his collections. In 2019, he became the first African designer to win the LVMH Prize, a milestone that catapulted him onto the global stage. Thebe’s venture into interiors at the Mount Nelson feels like a natural evolution of his work. Designed alongside StudioLandt, his vision for the Thebe Magugu Suite is brought to life. Here, Thebe introduces what he calls an 'AfroModern' aesthetic, layering Southern African craft traditions and materiality with the heritage sensibility of British colonial-era interiors. 26

response is instinctive and emotional. His design process draws on feeling, guided by references as varied as photographs, artworks, architecture, and fashion. What binds these images and landscapes is a contemplative mood, dishevelled fashion, and interiors that are at once regal, opulent, and derelict. In crafting furniture, Yaniv translates emotion into form. His pieces move beyond any single period, instead giving shape to the world he chooses to inhabit.

Visual Artist Johannesburg

Trevor’s practice moves confidently across photography, fashion, performance, and installation. His lens reenvisions African narratives, making his work a staple in the visual language of contemporary designers. His storytelling platform, The Manor (named one of National Geographic’s Best of the World 2024), builds upon this vision, showcasing a profoundly layered archive of images that shape how spaces are created and felt. One of those rare photographers who influences interior designers rather than the other way around, Trevor’s work has appeared in global publications and informed cultural phenomena such as Beyoncé’s Black is King. Recent exhibitions include A Place Called Home, Life Through the Lens, and Digitalia: The Art and Economy of Ideas.

COMING SOON TO SOUTH AFRICAN SHORES: LUTRON’S AVIENA REDEFINES TACTILE LUXURY BLENDING HERITAGE CR AFTSMANSHIP WITH SMART HOME INTELLIGENCE, THE AVIENA TOGGLE KEYPAD IS SET TO ARRIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA, OFFERING DESIGNERS A SOPHISTICATED NEW STANDARD IN CONTROL.

The Aviena Toggle Keypad is coming soon to South African shores. As the local market sees a resurgence in organic materiality and retro-contemporary design, this launch offers a timely solution for architects and interior designers seeking to balance modern automation with nostalgic aesthetics. Designed exclusively for the Lutron HomeWorks ecosystem, Aviena addresses a common challenge in high-end South African projects: reconciling the convenience of smart lighting with the tactile demands of luxury interiors. From Cape Dutch modernism to boutique safari lodges, Aviena offers a control interface that feels as good as it looks. A Return to Analogue Elegance In a market often saturated with touchscreens, Aviena champions the return of the mechanical "click." Hand-finished in solid brass, it moves away from plastic interfaces to offer a genuine sense of touch. Its weighted mechanical toggle and curvilinear form are designed to complement both stark, modern minimalism and the textured richness of heritage renovations.

A Distinctive Alternative in Luxury Controls

Aviena bridges the gap between classic aesthetics and modern performance. Its arrival expands Lutron’s offering for the South African residential and hospitality sectors, ensuring seamless design integration and flexibility without compromising on the intuitive usability required for everyday living. Availability & Enquiries: The Lutron Aviena Keypad will be available in South Africa through Homemation.

Key Specifications for Specifiers Designed to sit comfortably alongside the acclaimed Alisse range, Aviena allows for a cohesive visual language throughout a property. • Materiality First: Crafted from hand-finished solid brass, the weighted toggle switch provides a satisfying, premium interaction often missing in modern controls. • Signature Finishes: Available in seven of Lutron’s Signature Metal finishes. This ensures seamless visual integration with other Lutron hardware, allowing designers to mix and match keypads while maintaining a unified aesthetic palette. • Seamless Integration: Built specifically for the Lutron HomeWorks platform, ensuring native compatibility and responsive control over complex lighting scenes and automated shading. • Customisable Logic: Supporting configurations of up to four toggle switches, the unit can be tailored to specific zone requirements. Options for single-line engraved text and iconography ensure intuitive usability for end-users and guests.

His creative sensibility was first shaped by a childhood fascination with Impressionism: a love of fleeting light and layered meaning that continues to inform his architectural language today. He has become known for reimagining museums, exhibitions, and heritage spaces with critical depth and poetic restraint. Feeling is at the core of his projects. Both practitioner and educator, Nabeel’s work reflects a lasting commitment to finding beauty, justice, and cultural meaning in South Africa’s evolving urban landscape. 37

Architectural and Urban Designer South Africa | Toronto | Miami

Nicole is a Zimbabwean-born, South African-raised, and globally rooted designer whose work transitions fluidly between architecture, art, and urban storytelling. Now based in Miami, she crafts pieces that extend across continents, most notably Pearl Jam, a public installation inspired by Ndebele jewellery and crafted in collaboration with over 100 Ndebele women. Nicole’s practice is grounded in what she calls cultural sustainability: the reimagining of tradition as it travels. Her work transforms memory into matter and heritage into conversation. It prompts people to look up, reach out, and see themselves in something both familiar and foreign. Whether designing a cityscape or a beaded earring large enough to hang from a tree, Nicole creates spaces that convey movement, meaning, and migration.

IVAN MCCARTHY Founder and Architect, Ivan McCarthy Architecture & Design Cape Town Ivan designs curiously and with an eye for beauty in both the monumental and the mundane. Through his studio, he merges architecture, interiors, and furniture into one thoughtful continuum grounded in context and timeless minimalism. His work avoids theatrics, favouring warm materials and gentle light. Each project becomes a sanctuary shaped by intuition and a life lived in motion. This sentiment continues into his furniture line, Meuble Fine Furniture, where he champions craftsmanship and the beauty of the handmade.

Onesimo’s practice is fundamentally architecture-driven. Working at the intersection of fashion, performance, and spatial storytelling, he approaches garments as structures: sculptural forms shaped by movement, sound, and context. Drawing on his Xhosa heritage and the sculptural language of Umbhaco, Onesimo reconfigures cultural forms into wearable constructions that explore identity and belonging. Often collaborating across disciplines, he treats fashion as a spatial experience, blurring the boundaries between architecture, art, and the body.

Vibrant, energetic, and rich in narrative, her work blurs the line between interiors and fine art, allowing each discipline to inform and inspire the other.

Over fifteen years, he has built Kraak into a community of artists, designers, and storytellers, extending into Kruijd, a retreat celebrating stillness and creativity, and KAPSULE, a platform showcasing local artisans.

Founder and Designer, Locha Design Studio Cape Town

Tshidzo designs like someone who has been drawing their world into shape their entire life — because in many ways, he has. After years as a fine artist, he left the canvas in 2020 to pursue his passion for industrial design in search of creating something with both function and feeling. In 2024, he founded Locha Design Studio, where his minimalist, brutalist language is sharpened by a distinctly African influence. Tshidzo is driven by the belief that African design must define its own trajectory, looking to the past to imagine a future shaped by African hands. ‘Africans must shape their own future, chosen tool in hand,’ he says. Locha Design Studio is his. 52

Architecture Studio Johannesburg

MiMo Architects was founded by husband-and-wife duo Leonard Miller and Catherine Moronell in early 2019. Catherine’s introduction to architecture came through childhood visits to construction sites with her father, most memorably involving a pie and Coke in the back of a bakkie for lunch. Leonard’s first encounter, on the other hand, was far more cerebral: his design sensibilities shaped by a digital-artist mother and a bridge-engineering father. At MiMo, the fundamentals matter most. The studio creates lasting, mindful architecture through a purposeful selection of materials. A unique outlook on beauty shapes their designs, allowing it to unfold throughout the experience of a space.

Macio’s absolute dedication to architecture dates back further than memory can mark. What is known is that as he learned to walk, he steadied himself against a low coffee table designed by his father, stacked with international books and journals on architecture. His path, shaped by consistent curiosity and devotion, remains open-ended. Today, he is invested in a book about architecture and horses, and tomorrow there will be new ideas to pursue. Macio brings his belief that there isn’t a single ‘right’ way, but possibly a way, to his role as Director of Van der Merwe Miszewski Architects. 56

Curved lines and clean palettes make his high-rises, such as the Tuynhuys Apartments and his latest Spindle project, desirable additions to the CBD's skyline.

Director and Architect, Solvation Architects Stellenbosch Cillié, Director of Solvation Architects, draws on the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi minimalism, centred on simplicity and the quiet beauty of natural materials, to create buildings that feel grounded, calm, and purposeful. He is particularly invested in the design development stage, a process during which he translates conceptual intent, spatial clarity, and material logic into the final built structure. Cillié cites the firm’s ethos of Regionalism as a guiding principle, ensuring each design responds thoughtfully to its geography, climate, culture, and history.

His architectural structures include the Kleine Rijke wedding venue and the Granger Bay pavilion, and he is pursuing lowcost housing solutions and ranges that use offcut timber.

Founder and Designer, Studio Sway Johannesburg | Amsterdam

Shaakira is the mind behind Studio Sway, a practice that treats design as both lens and lever. In 2013, she stepped away from Johannesburg’s architecture scene to follow a deeper pull toward materials and making — a leap that led her to the Design Academy Eindhoven, where she later returned as a lecturer. Growing up in a young South African democracy remains a powerful undercurrent in her work. Blending craft, philosophy, and science, Shaakira creates poetic, investigative projects that reimagine how we relate to our environments. She is the designer behind the pioneering Aquatecture Water Harvesting System and has produced several responses to Cape Town’s Day Zero drought. A Design Indaba Global Graduate and Kazerne Design Award winner, she continues to push design into urgent and necessary territory.
