Infusing Ancient Africa Modern Art Renaissance into Design

OUR STORY

Renaissance design is a multidisciplinary creative agency, which specialises in the conceptualising and design of modern ancient African inspired Patterns for various brands. Our services include creative consultancy and our projects have extended into the fields of Interior, Fashion, Product design and custom design services for corporate & hospitality brands. 

Founded by Glorinah Khutso Mabaso, an academic multifaceted design thinker with a passion to re-awaken the ancient cultural knowledge on the African continent. She has taken on the challenge of becoming the mouthpiece to the ancient world using design as her chosen language.

We believe in the preservation of African history, through creating modern visual archives and documenting the continent’s heritage and wealth which lives in its people, ancient tribal sounds, textures, patterns, dance, architecture and natural surroundings. Every Pattern designed has a story which was related verbally but when translated visually, the impact tends to have an emotional and sometimes spiritual effect.

Our signature style is rooted in neutral palettes, geometric patterns, the careful use of colour and simple lines. This is our vision of the DNA required to establish the ultimate AFRICAN RENAISSANCE…

We love incorporating renaissance designs’ patterns in a lot of our projects. Glorinah’s designs are both bold and unique. The shapes and colours included in the patterns are always very balanced. Renaissance design is also very versatile and accommodating to all our design requirements. Reddeco is proud to have collaborated with Renaissance design and highly recommends them for any architecture/interior design studio.

Working with the talented Glorinah Khutso Mabaso from Renaissance Design has been an ABSOLUTE pleasure and privilege! From the moment she walked into our warehouse dressed to impress, she had this amazing energy about her that was truly contagious! Our collaboration at Decorex JHB 2022 evolved a Spanish product into an African-rich experience, and Glorinah's vision and passion for art and design inspired by ancient cultures transformed what would have been a standard display of Silestone products into a next-level exhibition of culture, history and colour! Thank you for making the experience something we will cherish forever!
