The Butchery
These ceramic tiles for The Butchery by Marble were inspired by the natural overlap of Japanese Shibari style rope binding to evoke the feeling of meat as art.

Dropping your habits
Let go of what you think you know. Question everything. Assume nothing. Unlearn. Anti Est is a movement away from habit and indoctrination and towards a new way of viewing the world – with honest, open eyes. Anti Est asks you to Unlearn so you can learn anew. In a world characterised by consumerism and “mass produced” opinions, it encourages authenticity of thought and conversation, and embraces the craft culture with unexpected, hand-made food and drink. Since it opened in Braamfontein, a previously derelict neighbourhood on the fringe of the Johannesburg city centre, it has become a catalyst for change – encouraging people from the Northern suburbs to rethink where they socialise. And they’ve done so in droves, abandoning the comfort of their usual stomping grounds for a place that sets the stage for a re-examination of what society and years of habit have dictated to be true.
Adam & Eve Limited Edition Merlot
Double bottle carrier design for Adam & Eve, a red and white merlot. Adam is as handsome as the sun, represented as day, with Eve as alluring as the moon represented as night.
The-O
The-O is a recording studio owned by sound engineer Theo Potgieter. Theo is The-O. The Ou is The Guru ("Ou" is a South-African version of "dude"). The Oh is The Sound of Understanding. OH, I GET IT! It’s O-ism.
THE-O's: 11 Enlightened O’s adorn the walls of The Inner Sanctum. They are staring at The Weird Rectangular red O-shape in the ceiling. They are awe-struck by it and The Light shines upon them forever. They are The Only Ones who understand why it’s there. They also control The Acoustics.
Faces: Bat-O, Super-O, Anchor-O, Wo-O, Milk-O, Ape-O, Space-O, Chair-O, Snow-O, Gentle-O and Boogey-O.
