WILDETECTURE Africa fauvistic design

WILDETECTURE - "Comprises in part, of the artistic expression much artistic influence is stolen OR borrowed from Africa. WELL WILDETECTURE IS NOW ENDEAVORING TO STEAL IT ALL BACK."

Had our first wildetecture design idea meeting of 2017 yesterday, at a coffee shop in Cape Town - No better place to shoot the breeze really. We have offices in Bree street and have the privilege to meet in the green room at academy IDT in roeland street. However on occasion its just great to meet in a coffee shop - We have a preferred one, but will punt that ol name when we get a free coffee - Not their yet, we just very incognito at the moment. IE not at all famous and not really ever going to be. So the free coffee is a never, never really.

I do have an interesting observation of my own. Whenever ive gone to an exhibition of sorts in cape town at the CTCICCcTT. Eish its a song really. Whether its design, product or industry exhibitions. Ive paid abit to get through the doors.The stands are all very well done and expensively kitted out. However the people manning the stands are all waiting for you to engage with them. All pretty cool but not really geared to interact with you the poor looking punter first. Sitting there like its just any other Tuesday on the Cape Town company garden benches. So you waft around with not much engagement from the exhibitors. If i was paying huge money to be at an exhibition, i would also pay huge money to be able to give out free merch. T shirts, stickers, branded stuff. These stay with the potentail client base longer than the memory of the dead expensive stands do. Some dude walking around in years to come with a holy well worn wildetecture T shirt. Not knowing who the heckus we where is pure irony. Lives longer than the expensive kitted stands with the non engagement sitters. But Souf Efrican industry is super snoep i tell you. (my limited opinion and as you know, means absolutely nothing) No free lunches and all. So thats why i dont go to exhibitions much. Its like all the cool kid sellers wanting to be watched but dont really want to engage with the great unwashed buyers. If we exhibit at these design exhibitions or industry thingys. Wildetectures giving out free merch i tell you. Bring the energy vibe. It will be part of our budget. Change the energy up abit. Thats just my unsolicited, nobody cares really observation.

We have agreed to expand the hands and feet department of wildetecture considerably this year. Invited 3 more frothing wildetecture type creatives on board to capitalize on the wildetecture design concept creative platform we have been building for the last 8 yrs.


So get ready for a few new design concepts that will create a left of center thinking across the board. Our new wildetecture logo is set to redefine the concept of logo's in the digital age - Designed by Tyrone Pearce - Very excited about this project. Because as wildetecture we can design logo's, but not anything like this - the mathematics involved in this end product algorythm left me scratching my head.


For 2017 expect new wildetecture type architectural designs , art, furniture, skateboard decks and surfing attachments and wild Africa fauvistic design ideas.

Tyrone Du Preez is also joining the team as we look at expanding the brands reach and capabilities. We are doing a photo shoot this Friday and as photo shoots go - its always fun. Attached a shot of a previous shoot - with calvin siderfin - wild cape town wind sculpted trees - wildetects peering into the distance of the sea looking perhaps for the flying dutchman and future conceptual designs. Interestingly for me the 2 skinny trees are aligned with the 2 skinny dudes. Im next to the more robustly filled out shrub. Its not even a tree really. Is this creative genius or complete coincidence?
