DESIGN IN BLOOM | Studio Visit Series 2026

DESIGN IN BLOOM | STUDIO VISITS SERIES 2026

Our second Studio Visit takes us into the newly opened The Ninevites' store and creative world of Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg, founder of The Ninevites.

This intimate midday gathering invites us into Nkuli's practice — where she uses textile design as a tool for social change. Set within her multi-disciplinary design studio space & store, the conversation unfolds around process & intention.

In parallel, we’ll also have a flower market where you can pick up fresh blooms for yourself or someone special.

Join us for a moment in your day of listening, touch, and shared presence — where the conversation is shaped by place, and the studio becomes the meeting point. Conversation promptly from 11h30AM.

STUDIO VISITS is a natural extension of how we like to gather.

While we love our home at & Friends, we’re stepping outside the walls and into the spaces where the work actually lives.

This series takes our conversations in situ — into studios, workshops, kitchens, rehearsal rooms, and creative environments — meeting artists, makers, and thinkers on their own terms.

Each visit is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and engage with process, practice, and place.

Same warmth. Same depth.

Just a new setting.
