After an incredible Saturday spent at Cape Town’s Design Indaba, I thought it only sensible to share with you a friend and his work...
I hope that everyone gets the opportunity to meet Mr Vito Selma one day. Our paths crossed last year whilst I was in Italy, in Milan. You are greeted by Vito’s Cheshire-cat grin, his navy waistcoat hangs unbuttoned and his tailored shorts are cuffed above the knee. He's unassuming in his ways, yet insightful. He carries a humble camera with him most days, and occasionally he'll snap a building, a passer-by, or even you.
Vito is one of the most inspiring humans I’ve had the privilege of meeting in my short life. He is a designer, a photographer, a creator, a fashionista, and a spectacular cook in the kitchen if you are lucky enough to be invited around for dinner at his pad. Furniture being his trade, his genius designs have been featured in publications around the world. And he still continues to leave his mark on the design world internationally. He is a humble individual, yet full of enthusiasm and excitement, and I find myself secretly envious of his work and achievement. Not because of the his incredible success, but because he has made his passion into his career, and he's living it.
His newest creation, “Delilah”, is a new-school take on an old-school rocking chair. Come on, who doesn’t love a good old rocking chair? Go check him out at http://www.vitoselma.com/
