Nest design

Designer Porky Hefer's organic capsules are part of Grains of Paradise: Contemporary African Design in collaboration with Southern Guild, a group exhibition at a gallery specializing in contemporary design.

Porky Hefer’s Nests are quirky, visually mesmerizing and comfortable. To create them, the designer takes inspiration from nature and works with local craftspeople.

Overlooking the majestic plains of Laikipia in Kenya is the Nay Palad Bird Nest, a luxury accommodation that looks like a giant—you guessed it—bird’s nest. The two-story suite features a timber frame woven entirely from locally-sourced materials such as tree branches and farmed wood. Its viewing platform, though not ideal for laying eggs, is ideal for having breakfast and coffee while enjoying a breathtaking view of a nearby river and the animals that visit it.

Porky Hefer is a South African artist and the mastermind behind some seriously unorthodox seating.

Big kudos to Andrew Nolan and the Malley Design team for their beautiful rebranding of Clean Nest Homes! An all-natural cleaning company that operated had Orluck Organic for 20 years! A huge step on their business' history, and a well taken one, we must say. #TopShots
