Renée Rossouw Studio, A South African pattern lab
Renée Rossouw is a Cape Town-based architect working at SAOTA while running RR Studio, a South African pattern lab, as a side business. The studio, which was founded in 2013, is dedicated to creating work for and in South Africa, focusing on the conception of a new South African aesthetic. The patterns that RR Studio creates are graphic and colourful, and are applied to a variety of mediums from wallpaper to ceramics.
While Rossouw’s processes might be more associated with art, she values commercial appeal and enjoys making things that can be used in homes and by people. “The useful aspect appeals to me,” she says. “Design also evolves all the time with world trends, and I enjoy working within this ever-changing realm.”
