Brigitte Owers-Buccianti was frustrated with the predominantly digital nature of her interior design degree. With her background in ceramics and sculpture, there wasn’t enough hand-making in the digital-dominated realm to satisfy the kind of design Brigitte was looking to practise.
A stint in Canada introduced Brigitte to furniture-making, and she hasn’t looked back! (Except to graduate from her interior architecture course with Honours, of course.) She launched Real Non-Real in 2020, the brand under which she designs curvy steel pieces that defy the traditional single-purpose functionality of furniture.
Lindsey Baudinet has been gardening for much of her life. She is a no-fuss gardener, into plants for their form, colour, and texture, rather than their horticultural notoriety. I like this about her, and it reminds me of a conversation I once had with English garden designer John Brooks.
Nutritionist and author Lola Berry is back today with another smoothie recipe from her new book Lola Berry’s Little Book of Smoothies & Juices!
Lola’s ‘Super Green’ breakfast smoothie combines avocado, frozen banana and cashews for a dense energy boost to kick start the day! Packed with nutrients, this smoothie is THICK – we suggest serving it in a bowl, and topping with cashews, pepita seeds or even granola for a bit of extra crunch.
