Most Beautiful Object in South Africa

By Tasos Calantzis - February 24, 2007

No, not Charlize Theron; she's probably out of the country right now. The object voted most beautiful is Roelf Mulder of ...XYZ's condom applicator. It's a fitting notion in a country racked by the world's worst AIDS epidemic. Life is indeed beautiful.

If the judging criteria were narrower we might have seen Haldane Martin's Ostrich feather lamp win the prize.

Or furniture lovers might have preferred Greg and Roche Dry of Egg Designs' rocker. Take a look at the rest of the finalists here.

The exhibition featured some other beautiful items like Heath Nash's lampshades in riotous colors. Retail buyers from the USA and elsewhere were there in full force so expect some of these items near you soon.
