In their weekly round-up of SA’s creative community and projects, Between 10and5 chose a Cape Town WDC 2014 project.
The Missibaba Boombox Project
As part of the World Design Capital 2014 purpose to “Live Design, Transform Life”, the Missibaba team launched the Boombox project. Chloe Townsend and Lizel Strydom invited seven creatives to each design a custom Missibaba bag. They were given unprinted leather panels and asked to come up with a design to decorate the iconic large weekender style Missibaba bag.
The results were auctioned off at a one-night-only exhibition to raise funds for Shift, an organisation dedicated to empowering youth and rural communities through the transfer of practical skills for social, environmental and economic wellbeing. Committed to collaborative practices, Shift applies their experience of human-centred design to ensure that voices are heard and needs met through their work.
