Modern Gesture is a design and manufacturing company of Hand-Crafted, Eco-friendly African-Inspired Decor Pieces, such as lighting, homeware and small stationery items in Cape Town.
By exploring different production techniques and crafting skills, Modern Gesture can design signature pieces that complement almost any decor space. These techniques include the experimentation of physical and tactile properties of mixed mediums, such as offcuts of wood, wax cord and various metals.
Each piece tells a story.
Modern Gesture believes that in each piece created a story is embedded into its materials, capturing the time and care engaged in the creation of each item.
This practice ensures that each piece holds its unique characteristics. Each product is handcrafted to engage our attention through the use of materials, shape and final design, allowing for a new approach to quality, innovative design and simplicity, but still holds an international appeal without losing its local relevance and sentiments.
Modern Gesture Signature Pieces.
Modern Gesture has created a collection of signature pieces that are not only beautifully crafted but also have been used by some of the biggest companies all over the world.
Some of our most prominent pieces include
African Tribal Necklace Lampshade: An African necklace is made up of spiral rings. The lamp embodies this shape through the use of wooden rings, a representation of wholeness and timelessness. Each layer of the lampshade is adjustable to any required angle and when all layers are aligned, it can be easily flat-packed for storage and packaging purposes.
Woven Bedside Light:The Woven Bedside Light is the perfect accessory for any person looking to add comfort, beauty and elegance to any room. Our Woven bedside light offers a unique touch to any environment, no matter whether it be a desk, bedside or hallway table. This innovative design features a 340mm off-cut natural wooden ring. The woven wooden frame is attached to a 200mm base plate, available in either black or white.
African Woven Necklace Lampshade: The Woven Necklace Lampshade has inspired a range of other products in the Modern Gesture range as well as finding new ways to use our off-cuts of wood to inspire new products. What I like about this design is that one can adjust the rings of the lampshade to any required angle. In that way, the customer in their way becomes the stylist of their unique light piece.
Woven Mirror: This Sustainably-focused handmade mirror is the perfect blend between sharp lines and gentle curves. This innovative design features an 800mm off-cut wooden frame, available in either natural or bold black colouring. Each frame is fitted with a 400mm mirror and a beautiful woven covering that not only adds contrast to the frame but compliments it so well.
Column Wall Sconce Then our Column Wall sconce is perfect for you. Add that touch of beauty, elegance and modern lighting design, which has been meticulously handcrafted to highlight African culture and heritage. With a distinctive and contemporary style, you cannot go wrong with the Column Wall sconce. This design features a 530mm Birchwood column with an E27 screw-in light bulb fitting. The wall sconce is fitted with a 100mm Wall Mount, offering a secure fitting to your light feature.
