✨ From a competition win to an unforgettable European adventure…

As this year’s Modular Lighting Competition winner, Ezra Hattingh was awarded an incredible opportunity to travel to Belgium and experience the world of Modular Lighting firsthand. 🇧🇪

And why stop there? The trip became a chance to explore more of Europe too — taking in new places, cultures, architecture, design and inspiration along the way. ✈️

A special thank you to Walter Ritson from WB Lighting for his continued support of our students and for sharing his expertise with the next generation of designers.

This is just a little sneak peek… 👀
A full look at Ezra’s European adventure is coming soon!

This week, we had the privilege of welcoming two industry voices to BHC to experience the creativity of our next generation of Cape Town designers. 🙌

Our third-year students recently tackled a bench design brief, exploring how creativity, materials, form and function can transform an everyday object into something considered and meaningful.

A huge thank you to Brent from Inova and Gareth Pearson from Cape Town Furniture Week for joining us to judge the students’ work and, most importantly, for sharing your time, expertise and incredible feedback.

Your insights gave our students an opportunity to see their work through an industry lens and encouraged them to push their thinking even further.

We’re incredibly proud of the talent, curiosity and creativity coming through our studios. The future of Cape Town design is looking exciting.

Well done to all our students who took on the challenge! 👏

Design doesn’t just happen in the studio. ✨
It’s out there—in the streets, spaces, conversations and experiences that shape how we see the world.

A little glimpse of our students out and about, finding inspiration wherever they go. 🎨🏙️

Design education is strongest when theory meets practice.

Our learners recently visited Ergoform, gaining first-hand insight into the relationship between ergonomics, workplace design, materials and user experience.

Industry visits such as these allow students to move beyond concepts explored in the classroom and understand how design decisions respond to real people, real environments and real-world requirements.

Thank you to Ergoform for sharing their expertise and giving our learners an opportunity to engage with design in practice.
