BlackCoffee Collections, installations and other work by SA designer Jacques van der Watt

Synthesis is a Black Coffee fashion performance exploring the relationship between technology and the natural world. Through a chaotic mix of graphic prints and abstracted floral and botanical patterns, Black Coffee Summer 2011 reflected an ever changing relationship with nature.

“We are holonic, containing multitudes, a vast network. We are not set apart from other life forms such as bacteria, plants and animals. Rather, we are all part of the vast matrix of ‘living information’.” Shin’ichi Takemura
