Fun fact
Sketch commissioned over a 100 clay vessels, vases and pendant lights in different shapes and sizes. Each vessel was handcrafted by renowned local artist, Nindya Bucktower, at her studio in KwaZulu-Natal.
Our favourite part
The brief was to redo an existing restaurant into a new brand called Akti, while still using as many of the original features as possible.
This challenge for designers is referred to as adaptive reuse. Our sustainable approach resulted in a brand-new experience that incorporated existing elements in a fresh and original way.
