Mash.T Design Studio

Seeing all the content coming out of Milan Design Week has us feeling a little nostalgic.

We’re taken back to 2019, when we had the opportunity to present our work on a collaborative stand representing South African design- alongside friends The Ninevites, Wiid Design, Modern Gesture, and TheUrbanative.

Our stand was designed to reflect something deeply instinctive to how we, as South Africans, show up in the world- creating spaces and experiences that invite people in. The kind of space where people could step in and feel like they belonged there, like their presence added something to what was happening.

The motif on the window is hand-beaded using thousands of glass beads, depicting the rolling hills of the villages that have shaped how we navigate the world- and that continue to inform the work we make for conscious aesthetes.
