In Collaboration with Ngala Trading Co. and Evolution Product
Ngala Trading Co. New York showroom carries many women-founded lines and showcases thoughtfully crafted and beautifully designed pieces. Today we are taking a look at Amanda du Plessis’s “Evolution Product”.
Amanda du Plessis, the Founder of “Evolution Product”, founded the brand after working in the fashion industry for 20 years. She wanted to create a range that connected her childhood in the Waterberg mountains to her love of textiles.
“Evolution Product” evolved from textiles embracing Amanda’s family history to include visuals from archival spaces in South Africa. The textiles celebrated the first occupants of our land and later captured artworks, created by pioneers, researchers and explorers, who traveled through our country researching and capturing the irresistibility of Africa.
We proudly collaborate with the South African Biodiversity Institute and contribute to the research facilities and archives where we find our visuals.
“As a female product designer, I am privileged to share my emotive connection to nature through textiles and aim that the end result creates conversation pieces for the home.”
