Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings

2007 has been a fantastic year for us at Twiice. Apart from phenomenal sales, I am particularly proud of my team. This year has been a challenging one in terms of streamlining operations and new additions to the team. The Twiice team is stronger than ever!

In order to service you even better, we are moving our Cape Town warehouse from Muizenberg to the City Bowl. Therefore we are offering you a once-off opportunity to purchase exclusive designs at spectacular discounts from 3 to 7 December at our Cape Town showroom.

Additionally, we will be launching Lizbeth Holstein’s art exhibition also at our Cape Town showroom on Thursday 6 December during Late Night Shopping from 5 – 9 PM. Do not miss this unique opportunity to purchase an ‘original’ piece of art or discounted ‘orginal” design piece of furniture for under the Christmas tree.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, my team and our suppliers for their support this year. Wishing you a fabulous festive season and I look forward to making 2008 a successful one with you too!

Gifts by Vitra

Gifts by Vitra

The Vitra Home Collection offers not only a large selection of furnishings, but also a wide range of accessories for creating your own individual home collage.
How do you create practical and inspiring interiors that serve the combined purposes of relaxation, recreation and work? Vitra''s answer: With room fittings and furnishings that adhere to the principles of modernism, augmented by objects whose selection and arrangement reflect the individual personality of the inhabitant. At Vitra, the word "collage" is used to express this idea. The aim is not to create a perfect, unalterable interior, but to view the home environment as something that is subject to growth and change, that combines things old and new, handcrafted and industrial products, technology and art, decorative and utilitarian objects. Accessories by Vitra enable people to alter and enhance their own "home collage" - and also serve as wonderful gifts, both large and small.

New: Worknest

New: Worknest

Worknest, the new office swivel chair by Vitra and Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, exudes cosiness. An office furnished with several Worknest chairs seems optically calm and harmonic because of the form and colour of Worknest. The encompassing form of the seat bowl shows comfort so that employees have a feeling of wellbeing and are motivated.
