This “gezellige” conversation with Georgie Visser, which took place in Fish Hoek on Moroccan scatter pillows (with tea and chocolate chip cookies), aims to inspire you to relate consciously to the spaces and objects around you. We touch on the Danish concept of Hygge, The Art of Happiness by Alain de Botton, and how humans tend to desire objects that reflect what we lack. We share many personal stories about the memories, meanings, and morals inscribed in the items we place in our homes. Stay tuned to hear why we each favour certain mugs, and how they contribute to our happiness.
More about our guest: Georgie is a brand strategist, philosophy enthusiast, and design lover (and amazing singer). Jana and Nicolene met Georgie in the Visual Studies lecture hall at Stellenbosch where they quickly started musing over similar interests. Georgie’s personal space and the social spaces she creates speak to her spatial sensibility and design/ curation soft skills. From this love and fascination with what our surroundings and the objects we value communicate to others, she is now pursuing a Masters in contextual design. Hear her speak about why we are drawn to certain design elements, what designing for the senses entails, as well as the significance of conscious design.
