Eco-Friendly Material

“Green” or should I say “Sustainable” design, is a common term that is being raised within the past, present and will definitely be raised within the next few years. Designers are now faced with the main objective of designing products that will not be a danger to our environment and create green corporate and residential spaces. The scarcity of natural resources is a problem therefore; the needs of the present must not compromise the future generation’s ability to meet their needs (www.econlib.org results). In other words, what we utilise in the present, must be still available for future generations.  

In designing a new building or redesigning an older building, the suitable method is being sustainable and green, so where to start? With the materials that are used in these new green buildings. One such material would be Eva-tech wood plastic composite (WPC), which makes aspects of outdoor living a breeze and most importantly environmental friendly.

 Eva-tech became a great hit at the WoodEx exhibition this year March 20, 2012.  It is one of the very few eco-friendly materials that interior designers incorporate in their designs, as it is used for nearly any outdoor application traditionally made from wood, e.g: Cladding, decking, furniture, etc.

One can enjoy a book and feel like a million bucks on a garden bench under your Eva-tech pergola, as the decision we make today can benefit the future generation and the environment.

A young, up and coming dynamic interior decorating company that aims to dazzle the interior decorating industry by specialising in indoor renovations ranging from residential spaces, hotels, guesthouses and extend its expertise to office space renovations. Kholwa De'cor & Design is a definate must be on the lookout for. 


Taken from mood board

Kholwa, which means "believe" in Xhosa or Zulu, epitomises the vision of a young, visionary and creative lady, Lerato Sekoboto. It stems from a journey of buried talents where she decided to pick up the spade that she used to bury her dreams to dig them up again.

Kholwa understands that each client’s personal preference differs and takes pride in ensuring that each client’s uniqueness is conveyed and displayed into his or her living space by also integrating comfort and functionality.

Influenced by movements in art, architecture and interior design including the elegance of modernism, to the uncertainty and unpredictable nature of post modernism; embracing the outrageous “no rules apply” uniqueness of deconstructivism; and the supreme perfection of photorealism. All creative inspiration is drawn from centuries of artists, painters and creators of lifestyles in order to acquaint the designer with the diverse nature of trends existing that can influence and be tailored to meet each client’s needs, personality, look and at the same time achieving comfort and functionality.
