INSIDER From his studio in Barcelona, fabric sculptor Sergio Roger creates fantastical sculptures in linen and embroidery, reimagining the ideologies of classical sculpture- making and, in turn, questioning the idea of Western civilisation TEXT PIET SMEDY 1 2 H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 | HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA

INSIDER PIET SMEDY: You have said before that you were TOP DOWN drawn to textiles from a young age. How has CYRENE, A FIGURE your relationship with the medium evolved MADE FROM ECO- over the years? DYED LINEN; JUPITER, A FABRIC BUST OF SERGIO ROGER: Experience has given me a certain THE ROMAN KING OF mastery of working with textiles, and I feel that sewing has become my grammar. I guess that what keeps THE GODS my curiosity and passion growing is that I challenge myself technically with every new project. I love OPPOSITE PAGE researching traditional techniques but always bringing SERGIO WORKING an experimental aspect to them. ON HIS EXHIBITION, Why are you so fascinated by the past? ‘TEXTILE RUINS’ Specifically, why did you choose to operate within the iconography of classical sculpture? I am interested in ancient art in general but feel a special predilection for Classic Greco-Roman art since it is a common ground to raise questions about notions of beauty and idealism from a Western perspective. There is an oft-quoted line from Michelangelo about the angel in the marble revealing itself to him to be sculpted into freedom. How do you see your relationship to your material, and how do you find the forms within the fabric? Textiles are a perfect tool that allow me to talk about history and the human condition. There are many reasons I am so passionate about this material: the history of textiles is linked to the evolution of human inventions. Chemistry was born after the invention of dyes, the binary system of computers is based on the weaving system, and the Industrial Revolution started with the mass production of textiles. We must also consider that weaving is much older than written language. Text and textiles share the same Latin origin, coming from the verb texere. Language, mythology and literature are loaded with metaphors that relate to textiles. How do you see this juxtaposition, where you are reimagining these Greco-Roman busts and friezes in a medium that is, seemingly, the antithesis of what came before (that is, stone vs. fabric). What new qualities do you think your application of fabric brings to these forms, and how does it reframe our inherent associations with them (beauty, civilisation, the universal ideal)? We associate sculpture art with permanent and noble materials, such as stone or bronze. By replacing these with fragile, delicate material, suddenly, the objects have an entirely new meaning. With this material disruption, I aim to break away from our perception of traditional sculpture and also reflect on the idea of permanence. HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA | H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 13

INSIDER When I create big-scale and architectonic works using AVANT-GARDE textiles, I like to confront the intimate and sensitive SCULPTURES FROM association that we give to textile craft with the solemnity ‘THE GRAND BALL OF and harshness of monumental work. DELPHI’ COLLECTION Take me through the construction of your pieces. EXOCOLUMN IN MAUVE, ALSO How does the process begin, and how are FROM ‘THE GRAND BALL OF you guided? DELPHI’ COLLECTION The technique I use is a method based on three- PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF SERGIO ROGER dimensional patternmaking that I have been improving over the years. First, I choose the motif and make several sketches, and then I make the prototypes in temporary fabric, usually cotton, which I fill with wadding. Once the desired volume is achieved, it is made with the final fabric and filled again. Finally, I make the finishing touches by quilting and draping. Some fabrics are dyed with natural dyes to achieve the effect of aged marble. In the larger pieces, I use wooden or polyurethane structures. The latest exhibition, ‘The Grand Ball of Delphi’, moves beyond academic, idealised views of antiquity, and actually feels quite playful, with the pieces all twisty – sort of like they are dancing – in an array of colours. With this installation, I wanted to question our assumptions and idealised views of antiquity. By contorting, bending and twisting the columns, I propose a more mystical, initiatory and visionary dimension of classicism. I wanted to refer to 19th-century colonialism and archaeology fever by using silk in rich colours, paying tribute to the interior aesthetics of this period. The colourful, twisted and bent shapes are in your line of vision after one last swirling dance at a grand ball, and the colours are, indeed, lifted from quintessential period movies such as the Sissi film trilogy and The Leopard. As you continue to work, creating pieces that straddle both the ancient and avant-garde, what has come to be your understanding of our relationship with time, memory and the past? And why is it imperative to interrogate, even subvert, this relationship? When we try to reconstruct ancient history, we must consider that most of the evidence from the past is missing. If we take ancient Greece, for example, more than 80 percent of written documents and artefacts from that time have been lost or remain undiscovered. To guess how ancient Greeks lived, we refer mainly to Roman interpretations. Furthermore, we must consider that archeology and the interest for antiquities started during the 19th century, establishing a colonial and European perspective on reconstructing the past. Therefore, with my work I try to present history as a discipline that should be constantly revised and never taken for granted. Q sergioroger.com 14 H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 | HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA

In today’s publish and post-or- CENTURY PALAZZO HOME perish world, a decorator not only makes a home for themselves and their family and 1 8 H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 | HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA friends, but they must also open the doors of their private sanctuaries to thousands of viewers. Lucky for us, they do this enthusiastically. As you will see in this book, personal style is not a secret to keep but a communication technique to share. Decorators telegraph their faith in gracious living, food, fashion, art, wellness and especially the decoration of houses. Their homes, to paraphrase the historian James Laver, are nothing less than the furniture of their minds made visible. Paige Rense, the legendary Architectural Digest editor, observed that a designer’s own home ‘is like an artist’s self-portrait: coloured by old dreams and new concepts, with judicious brushstrokes of a disciplined professionalism’. In the history of the interior design profession, many surprises and insights have been revealed in these ‘self portraits’. To this day, among the most famous surprises is when new generations of interior design enthusiasts learn that interior decorator extraordinaire Billy Baldwin lived in a one-room apartment on New York City’s Upper East Side and, during the summer, a two-room residence in Nantucket. Didn’t decorating for some of the greatest arbiters of his day – social figures Babe Paley and Bunny Mellon and advertising executive Mary Wells Lawrence – make him yearn for something more spacious, if not palatial? It was just the opposite. Besides the financial advantages, one or two rooms allowed this perfectionist, whose practice was one of restraint and suitability, to polish and experiment, and experiment often, with surface, pattern and colour. All he needed were ‘the absolute necessities plus a few treasured objects and books’, making him feel as though he was living in a library. ‘The best decoration in the world is a room full of books,’ Billy said. Rather than discouraging his experimenting as a sign of restlessness and ambiguity, his childhood friend Pauline de Rothschild encouraged it. ‘If you use your apartment as a laboratory, it is okay.’ Inside, At Home with Great Designers showcases the laboratories of some of the most accomplished interior designers working in the world today. Here, you will find the designer home as a statement place, a show-and-tell for their potential clients as to what they might expect when they collaborate. Alternatively, it is their retreat, a place to rest and recover from their hectic work schedules. Sometimes, it is an antidote or a full-on rebellion compared to the designs they install for their clients. Almost every home in this book is a repository for the things they have collected while travelling the world shopping and commissioning for their clients and themselves. And last but not least, it is an amalgamation of all of these priorities. For some of us, home is a sufficient nest with just a comfortable sofa, bed and large-screen TV. For the designers and decorators in this book, that is a motel room. Home is a launching pad for dreams, and they are always dreaming in technicolour. Even when it is beige, it is camera-ready.

An integral part of that rhythm is the people that make the experience a reality, and the easy flow of the day is courtesy of the warm and seamless service and evident passion that the Zambezi Grande team has for this place. It is also in the contrasts – old and new, bold, warm tones and calming, cool greens, the sense of adventure you find out in the wild and on the water countered by the cocooning spaces you retreat to in the lodge – that you find the dynamism that epitomises the spirit of the Zambezi. ‘This is a story of families seduced by the great Zambezi.

ART ‚ŒryvtŒ‚ Celebrating the fifth edition of Spier Light Art – hosted at Spier Wine Farm from 10 March to 10 April – exhibition curators Jay Pather and Vaughn Sadie reflect on the passage of time and the complexity of light since Eskom and load shedding providing brutal irony to curating a project about light, and adding to the challenges of what it takes the inception of Spier Light Art in 2018, light has been deployed to live in this contemporary world. However, in this 2023 collection, as a medium to deepen, enliven and enhance the artworks while artists play with and lean into form more deeply, exploring the artists have probed a range of subjects intricately. Particularly of materiality of light itself and its manifestations. This shifts this late, the pandemic and other precarities have led to the creation sprawling outdoor exhibition into an experiential adventure of the of introspective, conceptual works, drawing from atmospheres of many possibilities that light may be moulded into, from placeholder reflection and reset as several global and national trials assailed our and marker to a thing of wonder. So, while themes hold gravitas and society. This year, these challenges have not disappeared – with centre this collection of work, light is deployed in myriad evocative ways, inviting an experience of forms and, at times, leading us to reflect on today’s pressing issues. There is a sense of entering a beguiling wonderland of light art, with Georgia Munik’s Orpheus providing a captivating beacon within the exhibition; a brilliant, intricate neon sculpture marking a literal and metaphoric edge between darkness and light. Swiss artist Sofie Guyot’s Infinity draws our attention to the vastness of an evening landscape. Made from LED lights, it provides a reminder of the persistent and triumphant human imagination amid pessimism. In the same vein, Christina Fortune and Queezy’s seductive and fabulous Corset Intransit – a lit sculpted corset hung aloft a body of water – is a victorious homage to the human spirit in its unabashed, triumphant queerness. Curating light artworks in an open environment, combined with the challenges of weather, and ecological and material sustainability, means we are mindful of the range of viewers that traverse the farm’s various spaces. There is also something unique about light art exhibited with a sense of site specificity – finding the right environment on the Spier grounds to hold the work. This year’s artists certainly helped us find these balances. And then there are the owls. Many of them. Eyes glowing and watching from several trees. Serai Dowling and Ralph Borland’s endearing ‘Zizi’ (Shona for owl) is a collection of 40 life-size Scops owls – one of the world’s smallest owl species. Simple handmade electronics light up the invisible, and the expert use of wire creates form out of formlessness. They are delightful and grim reminders at the same time. The artists write, ‘Delight is the cornerstone of human resilience in the face of a remarkable daily onslaught.’ This combination of qualities runs through the Spier Light Art 2023.

SET IN STONE A mid-century home on the East Coast of the US with a reverence for ’70s architecture, decor and design TEXT SHAI RAMA PHOTOGRAPHS ANDREW FRASZ LEFT THE 1974 HOME WAS DESIGNED BY ARCHITECT LAWRENCE STERN nown for its familial suburban centuries-old buildings and unique private residences, none more comfort, public parks and sprawling so than this family home designed by notable architect Lawrence nature reserves, Short Hills in New Stern and built in 1974. This home has an almost West Coast, mid- Jersey, just over half an hour’s drive from New York City, lends century feel and a carefully considered layout that allows it to be itself to connecting with nature beyond the bounds of towering integrated into nature. cityscapes. This East Coast neighbourhood is an exhibition of Almost immediately after crossing the threshold, interior designer Yana Schafer and her husband David decided to move in. ‘We saw the home listed before we were even serious about buying and fell in love with it right away,’ says Yana. ‘We knew houses like these do not come up on the East Coast market very often – so the home itself became the deciding factor for moving into the suburbs.’ Yana is the cofounder of Malyev Schafer, an interior design studio based in London and New Jersey best known for using bespoke furnishings and decor to contextualise homes within their milieu. Honouring this home’s vintage spirit, Yana chose to feature several crafted design pieces and abstract artworks related to the mid-century movement, exploring a reverence for ’70s architecture while preserving and re-envisioning its history with equal care. The home uses organic materials and textures that occur naturally in the environment to connect with the outdoors and stay authentic to the geology of its location. Exposed stone walls and wooden details are met with a pared-back, neutral and earthy palette to accentuate the home’s affiliation with nature. The pièce de résistance is in the heart of the home: a Richard Neutra- esque central glass atrium that opens the house to the elements while ventilating and providing natural light to the interior spaces. The atrium is one of the many reasons Yana felt a connection to the home. The day she looked at the house for the first time, she discovered that the original dining room paired a Paul Evans dining table with a set of ’70s chairs from Directional, the exact same walnut-upholstered dining chairs she purchased a year earlier for her own dining area, only in a different fabric. ‘My husband and I always talk about “signs”, and to me, this was a sign this home was ours,’ Yana says. ‘This made the dining room particularly sentimental, so in decorating, it was envisioned as a time capsule of the home’s original spirit.’ Q Malyev Schafer malyevschafer.com 3 8 H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 | HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA

On the future of the interior design industry, Lane shares her thoughts: ‘I would like to see more consideration for the effect that environment has on our health and wellbeing. These are crucial areas to include in our design ethos, and I feel the priority needs to shift towards them. I also yearn for more authenticity in design and less of a quick and pretty approach to interiors. In short, I am looking for a richer, more heart-felt design appeal with no quick fix. ‘The mindless consumerism and the drive to buy more meaningless items deter us from the focus of our homes and can cause distractions from good design choices. I think the growing awareness of “less but better” is a sound strategy. It consists of a growing adoption of simpler design solutions and more appreciation for incredible architecture and furniture pieces.’ metaphordesign.co.za Tracy Lee Lynch / Creative director of Nando’s Design Programme With a passion for supporting the ‘By manufacturing creatives behind the design, Tracy Lee LOCALLY, we shine a light Lynch’s innovative eye – and the long- standing collaboration of the Nando’s on our CREATIVITY’ Design Programme she initiated and curated – has always expressed South African design through artistic storytelling with a visionary outlook on bringing people together. On the future of design, Tracy says: ‘I would like to see more established businesses opening their doors to create mentorship opportunities for young professionals. I meet many incredibly talented young South Africans with skill sets and qualifications but need experience in the industry to create and build their own small business.’ Tracy also mentions how heavily outsourced manufacturing pieces are and wants us to focus on localised production. ‘By manufacturing locally, we also create opportunities for product designers to shine a light on our incredible creativity and create meaningful employment. We all need to work together because South Africa could become the go-to destination for unique pieces with handcrafted elements and innovative use of materials.’ leelynch.co.za 4 4 H&G MARCH/APRIL 2023 | HOUSEANDGARDEN.CO.ZA
