The Art & Design tour

Take a tour of the incredible Xigera Design Collection, conceptualised by Toni Tollman, Philip Fourie and Anton de Kock – in collaboration with award-winning South African gallery Southern Guild.

A curated art collection

Our vibrant art collection brings together a wide selection of work by South African artists and emphasises the distinctive creativity of KwaZulu-Natal. There are over one hundred paintings by twelve artists, all living and working in KwaZulu-Natal province. Their narrative style is of vital importance in understanding South African history and specifically Zulu culture. A poignant historical counterpoint to this contemporary collection is a series of forty-three woodblocks by the late Cecil Skotnes, illustrating the life of Shaka Zulu, who reigned as king of the Zulus from 1816 to 1828. Intricate, creative ceramic and mosaic murals by Jane du Rand, a ceramicist based in KwaZulu-Natal, can also be discovered throughout…
