As a special installation at 107 Castle Street for Cape Town Furniture Week, Weylandts and StudioLandt launched their collaboration with The Mill Artisan Weaving | Handwoven Wool Rugs.
“Our journey with The Mill took us to Stampriet, Namibia - where craft, community, and landscape are deeply intertwined. Immersed in the workshop, we learnt the weaving process firsthand, working with Swakara wool from fibre to finished piece alongside the artisans who bring each design to life.
Inspired by the remarkable nests of the sociable weaver - living, collective architectures shaped over generations - this collection became a reflection of shared making, resilience, and belonging. Through experimentation, timber elements were integrated and intentionally left within the weave, echoing the branches that support these nests in nature.
What emerged is more than a woven piece - it is a story of place, process, and people, carried through every texture and every thread.”
