Inspired by smooth, water worn pebbles, the sculptural form of the Baba Papa lounger has been ergonomically shaped to enable one to recline in a variety of comfortable positions. The lightweight structure is made from 60% recycled stainless steel wire loops welded together to create an organically contoured diamond meshed surface. As stainless steel is rustproof, Baba Papa can be used in and outdoors. A removable upholstered seat is also available for increased comfort.

Natalie du Toit of Fundi Light & Living has just joined Cape Town Creatives. See more of her stunning work here.
The Western Cape Furniture Design Competition aims to promote design as one of the key tools for a furniture manufacturer to improve its competitive edge and stimulate economic growth, both locally and internationally.
The competition theme is: LIVE.
The LIVE theme seeks to inspire a creative take on furniture that forms part of living environments – tables, chairs, couches, beds or other furniture from our living environment, indoor or outdoors.
The finalists and awards for the Western Cape Furniture Design Competition 2010 will be presented at Decorex Cape Town from 23 to 27 April 2010, at the Cape Town Convention Centre.
Entries close 19 February 2010
Katie Thompson of REcreate is the newest member of Cape Town Creatives. She specialises in bringing new life to discarded pieces of junk from by-gone era’s.
Graduating with a distinction from Design Time School of Interior Design in Cape Town, Katie Thompson has seven years experience in the design, furniture and fabric industry in London and Cape Town.
The inspiration behind Recreate was Katie’s passion and flair for transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Katie never works within established stylistic boundaries. She creates an eclectic combination of styles, materials and finishes; this skill highlights her passion and her ability to find the intrinsic beauty and new, hidden purpose in the old, discarded items she chooses for her pieces.
A hoarder of all things useless, impractical, broken, colourful and shiny; Katie’s designs show tell tale signs of her Dadaist leanings.
By nature an extremely energetic, bubbly and creative individual, Katie’s energy filters through to her work and into her pieces and the lives of her clients.
