Like The Silo Hotel, A Cosmetics Brand With The African Essence

22/08/2023

As one of South Africa's earliest European colonies, Cape Town has completely transformed into a Europeanized city. Here, there is a boutique creative hotel that has been transformed from a disused grain silo. It is The Silo Hotel, a part of The Royal Portfolio group.

The building housing the hotel was constructed in 1924 and is about to celebrate its centenary. It was once the tallest building in South Africa and served as the country's "granary" for exporting to the world. In 2017, London-based studio Heatherwick Studio transformed this distinctively layered old building, giving it a completely new look. The ground floor houses the Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), while the second to sixth floors are occupied by The Silo Hotel.

Perched on this building overlooking the V&A Waterfront, The Silo Hotel enjoys an exceptional location. With a 360° panoramic view, guests can not only overlook the bustling activities of the harbor and admire the magnificent seascape, but also revel in the surrounding beautiful natural landscapes, extending their gaze to the distant mountains.

When it comes to the hotel's interior design, no compromises have been made. It was all masterfully designed by Liz Biden, the founder and owner of The Royal Portfolio group. The Silo Hotel boasts 28 unique rooms, each with its own style. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, a fusion of modern decor and vintage furniture, and vibrant African color choices create an atmosphere where guests can experience the diverse cultures of Africa.

 

Similarly, Juvia's Place, a cosmetics brand also originating from the African continent, exudes a rich exotic charm. All of Juvia's Place products draw inspiration from Africa, and the names of their eyeshadows are derived from African regions and cultural elements. The brand truly embodies the vibrant colors of Africa. Chichi Eburu founded this brand with the aim of representing African culture in the cosmetics industry.

Juvia's Place is renowned for its extensive and vibrant eyeshadow palettes, catering to different skin tone needs. All their products have a soft and smooth texture, minimal fallout, and excellent blendability. If you're tired of conforming to norms and want to express your true inner self, regardless of whether others find it unappealing, why not break free from societal constraints and become the most extraordinary and beautiful version of yourself?
