If you love beautiful things
you’ll love the Bamboo Lifestyle centre, where you’ll find everything from food to décor to art. Stop at the Service Station for a breakfast, buffet lunch, browse or early A.M. business meeting; view the Black Coffee collection of high fashion; spoil yourself or someone special with a gorgeous gift or something new for the home at nap living; muse your way through the gallery space Upstairs@Bamboo; head to Tinsel for some precious and original contemporary jewellery or settle into a good read at Love Books. New to the Bamboo Centre is entropy – drop in for your fix of design and desirables. Revive yourself back to sanity at Renue for body, health and mind.
Whatever your needs, you’ll satisfy them South African-style at Bamboo.

HARBOURED IMAGES HARBOURED IMAGES

From the 21st to the 30th May, Clare Haynes and Collette Edmonds provide two unique views on society. Very personal and precious moments are presented, inviting the viewer's participation. Some of these are stolen moments to feast our eyes on and others are emotions drawn from the subject which engages our attention.

These images have been collected and harboured over the period of 2011 and 2012. As the project progressed through the year, so the style of presentation grew and became fluid as happens with the enjoyment of a good feast!

Childsplay, Kinderspiel's
Toys for all ages 0 - 99

opens mid March 2012

Child in play - don't disturb

Playtime is probably the most important activity in a child's development. When you find children at play there should be a sign 'Don't disturb'. This is when children are learning through play - the cognitive advancement, socialisation and interaction is formed. Play promotes flexibility of the mind and is recreation and relaxation at the same time. Good, meaningful toys encourage your child to learn through play.

As a parent, friend, relative or educator it is in your hands to choose the right toys for each developmental stage. Kinderspiel offers a wide selection of toys for all ages and will assist you finding the right toy for your child's specific stage. Early Baby and Toddler toys, wooden toys and construction toys, craft & art sets, family games, card games, a large variety of puzzles from 4 pieces up to 2000 pieces. Real boys stuff but also very girlie things. Kinderspiel is very proud of its range of dolls imported from France in multiracial and ethnic styles. Special about these dolls are not only their beautiful facial features and the added scent of vanilla in the vinyl but also the fact that they are dressed in South African garments.

Kinderspiel believes very much in speech development of children. We have a large selection of Hand puppets (if not the largest in South Africa) from Germany, Austria, Mauritius and one of our Theatre booths is even manufactured in South Africa under the theme 'Tales from Africa'. The Owner of Kinderspiel has written a few Puppet shows herself and has them performed by a professional Puppetiere on a regular basis. Check www.Kinderspiel.co.za for next performance.

Playing is Kinderspiel's passion (as easy as Childsplay and as happy as can be). Our advice to every parent:

When your child asks: Can you play with me - grab this opportunity! It is the beginning of the most wonderful parent child bond. Playing is bonding for life.

Toys for all ages 0 - 99 at Childsplay, Kinderspiel's new outlet at Bamboo Centre, Rustenburg Rd/Cr. Carlow bridge/Westcliff Drive, opening hrs: Monday to Friday 8.30 till 5 and Weekends 9 till 4.

Enquiries: Ruth Kellow 0722445345 / Alison Green 083 284 6226


Also at Bamboo, Love Books has a unique selection of beautiful, hand-picked books for children in our kiddies section. We cover the spectrum from baby, through toddler, preschool and right up to Young Adult. We have regular story time at 10 o'clock on Saturday mornings. Story time is suitable for 4 to 8 year olds, but younger children are more than welcome to listen - they just need mom or dad with them. Story time lasts around 45 minutes and parents can enjoy a quiet cup of coffee next door at the Service Station or shop upstairs at the Farmer's Market while their children are entranced.

Black Coffee

Black Coffee

The key to the Black Coffee aesthetic is a combination of two polar opposites. The first is innovative thinking and inspirational conceptual beliefs on what it means to be South Afrian - particularly an Afrikaner with a rich heritage. Black Coffee has a quirky, deep and thoughtful approach to couture, to globalism and to a new African visual identity. To contrast with his fresh innovative design concepts, Jacques executes his process with meticulous attention to detail and a very traditional craft-like approach to the manufacture of Black Coffee couture.
