South African Design

Snooping around coolhunting lead me to this article.
It's a post about a feature at the Design Indaba Expo.
It is a collection by Snapp.
Founded by industrial designer Jonathan Fundudis and mechanical engineer Renko Nieman, the Johannesburg-based firm aspires to lead the field in contemporary South African product design and manufacturing. The brand fabricated their inaugural collection entirely from Corian, which they selected for its ability to be machined, thermoformed, laminated and finished using both new technology and traditional production techniques.
Since Corian is a notoriously expensive material, producing these pieces in small batches could be quite costly.

Check it out for yourself since the pictures won't load on here.
