Interior Furniture, Fittings and Equipment The Moolman Property Group was intricately involved in the selection of furniture, fittings and equipment at Princess Mkabayi Mall. Finishes in tactile materials such as timber play a huge role in creating interest, as do shapes and forms, including oversized pendant lights which evoke beehive huts.
Signage was carefully considered.“ We wanted to provide important information in a way that was more detailed,” explains Cornel Papenfus, head of marketing at Moolman Group,“ We therefore incorporated patterns to relate to and complement the architecture using clay, natural tones and khaki weaves. In the promotional courts, a tiling pattern was designed with reference to elongated triangles.”
The visual impact of the tiling pattern is significant and was formed by creating triangles that look like birds scattering.“ The flooring pattern is important in areas of transition. Visitors’ eyes are drawn to the floor, such as when one transitions into the food court area,” explains Lahaye.
