How Renaissance Design Aims To Re-awaken Ancient Cultural Knowledge. Renaissance design is a multidisciplinary creative agency, which specialises in the conceptualising and design of modern ancient African inspired Patterns for various brands. The company’s services include creative consultancy and its projects have extended into the fields of Interior, Fashion, Product design and custom design services for corporate & hospitality brands.
Founded by Glorinah Khutso Mabaso, an academic multifaceted design thinker with a passion to re-awaken the ancient cultural knowledge on the African continent. She has taken on the challenge of becoming the mouthpiece to the ancient world using design as her chosen language. The company believes in the preservation of African history, through creating modern visual archives and documenting the continent’s heritage and wealth which lives in its people, ancient tribal sounds, textures, patterns, dance, architecture and natural surroundings.
Every Pattern designed has a story which was related verbally but when translated visually, the impact tends to have an emotional and sometimes spiritual effect. The company’s signature style is rooted in neutral palettes, geometric patterns, the careful use of colour and simple lines. This is its vision of the DNA required to establish the ultimate AFRICAN RENAISSANCE.
Renaissance Design respects & acknowledges the lessons of the past. It understands why documentation should be expressed through multiple disciplines. The company believes in the preservation of ancient African knowledge through design. It strives to reflect the authenticity of ancient Africa as it loves creating designs that elevate Africa & educate the world.
