CAPE ISLAND’S SCENT WORKSHOP ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO DESIGN JOBURG

Design Joburg 2022, which runs from 19 to 21 May at the Sandton Convention Centre, will be given an olfactory edge this year with the introduction of a scent workshop presented by Cape Island, a local female-owned manufacturer of eco-luxe home fragrance products inspired by Africa.

“We are excited to launch a scent workshop at Design Joburg,’ says Suzanne Snowdowne, Chief Executive Officer at Cape Island. “Guests will be taken on an interactive, guided fragrance journey in an intimate and informal setting where they can unleash their creative energy, find their nose, and learn the basic steps to crafting and composing their unique fragrance formula.”

Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with and be inspired by interior mavens and collaborators Nthabi Taukobong, Founding Member and Managing Director of Ditau Interiors, an interior design consultation company, and Bilala Mabuza, Founder & Creative Director of interior design studio Cocoon Lifestyle.

Cape Island products are African designed and all made on African soil. “We source fine fragrance oils from leading perfumers in Europe and then make our hand-poured scented candles, fragrance diffusers, sulphate free soaps and lotions in South Africa,” says Snowdowne. “We are excited to share our passion with fragrance lovers at Design Joburg and enable them to create their own scent story.”

There will be two scent workshops per day of 90 minutes each at R180 per session (this excludes entrance to Design Joburg). Numbers are limited and bookings are essential. To purchase tickets for the workshop, go to the Cape Island website.
