Renée Rossouw

Renée Rossouw is a graphic-orientated, colour-fixated architect-designer obsessed with comics, colour, patterns and everyday objects.

Renée Rossouw is a Cape Town-based architect and artist.

Her work focusses on colour, geometries and patterns, which she thinks were originally inspired by the Lego sets of the 1980s and a gigantic flag atlas her parents gave her for her seventh birthday called It’s a Big Big World.

In 2013, Rossouw started her own studio where she creates original, bold and geometric patterns, which are applied to a variety of mediums and spaces, often working with various collaborators and product houses.

Renee Rossouw Studio patterns are designed through the exploration of different creative processes, which are as important as the final outcome. Her work as been showcased at the Venice Biennale, Madrid Art Fair, Design Indaba Expo and The Milan Furniture Fair.

A former Design Indaba Emerging Creative, Renee collaborated with Design Indaba again as part of the designers working with IKEA on the Overallt collection.
