SALABIM (@salabimhome) brings its world of weighted pyramids and handbags to The Loading Bay in De Waterkant. The Cape Town design house reimagines humble, useful objects as collectible design pieces. This activation presents the collection in one space — sculptural weighted pyramids made from reclaimed handwoven Peruvian textiles, Karoo mohair and ostrich shin leather, alongside the pyramid handbag collection launched at RMB Latitudes.
Each piece is one of one. Handwoven cloth never repeats, so every crop is unique and every pyramid handbag carries a laser-engraved serial number.
The full collection will be available to view and purchase from 19 to 24 October.
📍 Paulines Green Point (@paulinescoffeect) at Goodman Gallery, and The Loading Bay (@loadingbay), De Waterkant

On show from 19 to 26 Oct
Open to the public.
Clay shaped by hand. Metal precision-cut and joined. Objects printed layer by layer. These ways of making span centuries, each bringing its own character to the objects we live with.
Lighting designers and manufacturers, Hoi P’loy (@hoiploysa), and Clementina Ceramics (@clementinaceramics_studio) bring these different approaches together in a new range of cover plates that give the humble light switch a little more personality. Some are handcrafted in clay, while others draw from ceramic forms and textures. Each one is built around Hoi P’loy’s custom-designed, 3D-printed internal components and made to fit neatly over existing wall switches, without removing or replacing them.
‘The Shape of Us’ is explored through the crafting of different materials: ceramic, metal and 3D printing. Different processes yield different feels and finishes, but they all share one aim: making everyday objects worth noticing.
The collection will be shown as part of an exhibition and open studio at Clementina Ceramics, offering a glimpse into the collaborative process and the meeting point of ceramics, lighting and contemporary South African product design.
This is the first in a series of collaborations
