From Cape Town to Milan
Walked into this room and yeah… you could feel it. The kind of energy when everyone just gets it. Architecture, material, design all speaking the same language.
I was at @_saota 's Cape Town HQ on 10 April for a private gathering that honestly felt bigger than just a preview. More like a quiet statement of what’s about to land at Salone del Mobile.Milano. @scape_magazine behind the scenes making it all make sense.
What got me was how intentional it all felt. Not forced, not overdone. Just clean alignment and real thinking.

If you’re at Milan Design Week, don’t play yourself. Go see it.
Gratitude Wednesday, but make it boss level. 🦍✨
Gorilla trekking is different different. No camera, no drone, no 4K recap can capture that moment when you’re locking eyes with a silverback in the wild. It’s not content… it’s a core memory.
Rwanda, you were unreal 🇷🇼
Majestic moments only. Swipe.
And yeah, this is what happens when God answers prayers you were lowkey scared to even say out loud. Wild dreams? He handles those too.
Summer, I’m coming back for more.
What’s on your once-in-a-lifetime list?

Christmas 🎄🖤
_______________________________________________
We chose black as the theme for our Christmas celebration.
A reminder of the losses we suffered and the tough year we’ve had as a family.
Black symbolizes remembrance, resilience, quiet strength, and love that continues even in absence.
We honoured our grief, our survival, and the bond that still holds us together.
GQ Editor-in-Chief @molifekumona pulled up to #MOTY2025 portraits room with the swagger on lock and the vision in full effect. Calm, collected, holding the night together while steering the brand forward. When leadership meets culture, this is what it looks like.
