From South Africa to the World.
Towards Milan Design Week 2021: In August 2019, at the 100% Design South Africa showcase, we hosted our inaugural Clout Industry Days powered by Nando’s, where both emerging and established designers across several disciplines, textile, lighting and furniture, were invited to pitch their ideas to a panel of industry experts and the Nando’s design team. Emerging designer Khosi Leteba’s Bodulo collection was one of the winning pitches. And now, through a collaboration with the award winning Wiid Design studio, his designs have been brought to life in preparation for Milan Design Week 2021. Included in the showcase are other collaborations between the other winning ideas from Clout Industry Days pitch session, as well as collaborations to bring winning patterns from Nando’s Hot Young Designer Talent Search 2018 to life.
