OLYMPIC PAINTS LAUNCHES THE OLYMPIC COLOUR CAFE
Olympic Paints announces the Olympic Colour Cafe, a design-led retail first in South Africa. Built on the philosophy of CURATED LIVING, the space encourages intentional design, helping customers choose colours, textures, and finishes based on how they want to feel. Located at Centurion Mall, the Colour Cafe offers a creative environment where homeowners, decorators, architects, and design enthusiasts can enjoy premium coffee while collaborating with an interior design expert. Visitors create mood boards of selected colours and décor elements, leaving with a personalised plan tailored to their lifestyle. Designed by architect Nisha van der Hoven, founder of Hoven, the space blends contemporary trends with local character, transforming traditional retail into a warm, tactile experience. It reimagines the paint store as an immersive environment where customers engage with colour more deeply. The brand will expand with a second store at Mall of the South in May, followed by a Cape Town location later this year. www. olympicpaints. co. za
ITALTILE’ S EXCLUSIVE KRISTAL FLUTED VANITY
The interior design world is embracing a softer, more tactile aesthetic, moving away from stark, hard-edged minimalism towards curved, rounded shapes, with fluted and scalloped features. This comfortable warmth is evident in furniture and fittings, and Italtile is proud to represent the Curve Revolution with the Kristal Fluted Vanity, a standout piece crafted in Spain by Meubles Azor.
This eye-catching vanity artfully blends materials and textures: rich wood-look cabinetry reminiscent of Javanese mahogany and teak, paired with striking fluted glass accents. The result is a modern minimalist vanity with an invitingly soft sophistication, with the merest touch of romanticism, that still delivers practical functionality through two high-capacity, soft-close storage drawers.
Available in two colourways White and matt white: an all-white aesthetic that tells a clean and serene story. It pairs beautifully with a black-and-white tiled floor or luxurious marble surfaces. Either way, you are rewarded with a timeless, spa-style look.
Java and matt black: dramatic fluted black glass combined with a mid-brown wood-look effect reminiscent of Javanese teak or mahogany. This option brings depth and contrast and will suit bathrooms with natural wood elements or urban, industrial-inspired cues.
The Kristal Fluted Vanity perfectly captures today’ s trend towards layered, multi-textured designs, offering functionality enhanced with a fresh ripple of contemporary curves.
Italtile has enjoyed a proud partnership with Meubles Azor for many years: a family-owned Spanish furniture manufacturer founded in 1983, with a strong emphasis on modern designs, innovative materials and practical solutions, underpinned by meaningful environmental protection processes.
The Kristal Fluted Vanity in Java / matt black and White / matt white is exclusive to Italtile. www. italtile. co. za / social-content / kristal-bathroom-vanities-category
