. HAPPY CAMPER HOME DÉCOR
Moved by childhood camping experiences and a passion for bringing the Great Outdoors inside, Mireille van Reenen's Happy Camper luxury indoor furniture, home décor and accessory collections combine a sense of nostalgia and adventure with innovative contemporary design. Reminiscent of classical deck chair canvases as well as imagery and colours associated with the South African landscape, Happy Camper products are available in three thematic colourways inspired by Cape fynbos, sub-tropical forests and harsh Karoo landscapes: Floral, Forest and Veld.
Happy Camper materials are sourced locally, keeping the carbon footprint to a minimum. The detachable swatches on items are hand-woven from reclaimed pre-consumer textile waste strips, employing a unique combination of traditional fibre-based craft techniques developed by Mielie. In keeping with the space restrictions of most urban homes, furniture pieces in the Happy Camper collection have epoxy coated mild steel frames - allowing for clean lines and for items to be flat-packed and unobtrusively stored. The Happy Camper collections also offer playful alternatives for commercial settings.

. PHATHA BOWLS
Mireille van Reenen's Phatha collection is influenced by the forms and decorative patterns found in traditional Zulu and Xhosa craft. Intrigued by the simplicity and repetition of these longstanding visual traditions, the shapes of the wet-felted bowls are drawn from Zulu beer pots and hats, with patterning referencing Zulu and Xhosa beadwork and weaving. The bowls are hand-felted from local eco-friendly Karakul and Merino wool by the craft artists from Nuno, then exquisitely decorated by Indalo Design Studios.
Phatha bowls are available in the Imbizo (beer pot) and Isicolo (hat) shapes, and Cream, Grey, Brown, Red and Black thematic colourways. In addition, the bowls are offered in a variety of needle-felted decorations in combination with ostrich eggshell, shell, traditional glass seed beads, satin ribbon, wood and copper. These understated and stylish pieces can be used as candle holders, vases or standalone sculptural art objects, making them ideal for both residential and commercial settings.
