Global design and build leader Tétris Design and Build, a subsidiary of the JLL Group, has enlisted artists and designers to create a collection of artworks upcycled from decommissioned office furniture in an exercise of reimagining what is old and unused to demonstrate how design has the potential to shape a more conscious and sustainable workspace.
UPCYCLE: Office Furniture Reimagined is open to the public on Friday 19 April and Saturday 20 April 2024 at Makers Landing at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. On the Friday, design students will be welcomed for a special student-focused day, and on the Saturday there will be a free curated walkabout with the designers at 11h00. Entrance is free, and there is secure paid parking at Makers Landing.

Cosmic Presence
When Bernays first started writing about Public Relations, he referred to it as an ‘applied social science’. At the time (around 1920), the concept of social psychology was gaining popularity. And, thanks to his double uncle, the public was starting to accept the idea of psychology more and more. Bernays viewed PR as a way of understanding the attitudes and behaviors of crowds and how to change them. Back then, communication was just one of the ways to achieve that.

Well, it was strange, because the phone rang and a teaching job turned up that sounded interesting. And I always did my own work. The Animals and a lot of Public Relations were done while I was doing commercial work. – Garry Winogran

“I suspect in most companies, the Public Relations person is down at No. 20 in the pecking order. But here, he is fighting incredibly important battles. If a negative story starts running away with itself in the press and is not dealt with fast, it can badly damage the brand, and so we put enormous weight on our PR people.” – Richard Branson
