To welcome in the New Year, we are hanging one
thousand origami cranes in our Kloof Street store’s windows. Each ethereal little bird is a wish in paper form, and we would like to encourage all our
designers, customers and friends to pop by, cut a crane free and make a wish
for your year ahead. If you’d like to take your wish home for a friend or loved
one, well, that’s even better.

| KIN on Kloof |
This exquisite installation is a
collaboration with paper artist Keri Muller who is well-known for her artworks made
from old books destined for the recycling pile, abstract paper artworks, and enviable
origami skills. The exhibition’s concept is loosely based on an ancient
Japanese promise that in folding one thousand origami cranes, one evokes a
powerful wish. We would like to set a thousand good wishes free into the world, and it's our New Year's gift to all our KIN to take a small piece of art home with you. We also love the idea that origami cranes are thought to be a compelling
lucky charm when hung – so get yours up as soon as you get home :)
Our happy flock of cranes will live in KIN
on Kloof’s windows from Boxing Day (Thursday the 26th December 2013)
until the middle of January 2014.
