The Namibia Craft Centre...did I say I love it? Handmade gifts, decor, jewelry and clothing at the craft centre are 100% Namibian, special and unique. I've never been to the craft centre and went away without something. And most of the items at the craft centre are at the top of my Christmas wish list.
In the Hilda List Loft, upstairs, I found these gorgeous cushions made from Nguni cattle, springbok and goat hides. The natural hides are my favourites, beautiful as they naturally are, and there are coloured variations, as well. Get yourself these beautifully made and carefully stitched cushions (see picture below) for your favourite couch.
Down the stairs towards Nucleus Gym and the courtyard at the back of the old Breweries complex, you'll find tucked away in a corner, two Namibian women, Petra and Angelica, who make handmade light fixtures. People, the stuff looks great. I had to have one.
Petra made me a circular light fixture, grey in colour, covered with gauze wire and decorated with gauze wire flowers and marbles (see upper right-hand corner below)! The fixture itself requires a 60W bulb, ensuring for a soft yellow light flooding my room every evening, results in a dappled effect of light on the walls and ceiling of my room. I love it!
Pictured below are some of the light fixtures made by Petra and Angelica in the craft centre. Choose your colour and design and be prepared to love your handmade light fixture. If the space is larger, indicate to them a stronger bulb is required. Handmade in Namibia is the way to go.
