Botswana-born, Canadian-bred Sidney Molepo is a furniture designer and architect who creates work with both structure and design in perfect balance. I love that his pieces are simultaneously modern and elegant, linear and rough-hewn (think Canadian simplicity). Moreover, he is a bit of a traditionalist, he always starts his design process sketching with a pad and pencil.
Sidney says that his inspiration is very much mid-century modern with added influences of South African design. As a son of South African political refugees, Sidney and his family emigrated to Canada, and it was in beautiful Ottowa that he eventually earned his degree in architecture.
One of my favorite pieces is his Handle Chair which reminds us of the absolute simplicity and beauty that is great design. I don't want to give anything away, but you'll be seeing more of Sidney's work very soon! (I suck at keeping secrets).
What do you think? Visit his website to view more phenomenal designs.

ReplyDeleteThose who fail to get the right contemporary furnishings for the home is not the result of a lack of creativity in most cases, not to find good practical results do not verify all the available choices available and posting to those of you interested in, then compare it later. So, it would be better if you take the time to visit various furniture stores and check their selection. Another method is to go online and search for modern furniture stores in your area and see what they have to offer without having to walk around town for him.
