THARIEN SMITH THE UNTAMED CAPE COLLECTION

Tharien studied a diploma in Textile Design at the Tshwane university in Pretoria, and courses in Photography & Fine Art, as well as a Certificate in Interior Design.

During her career, Tharien has designed a wide range of products for different applications – such as furnishing, garments for the fashion industry, as well as ceramics and abstract illustrations.

She enjoys carrying techniques such as chiascuro, or using the contrast between light and dark effectively, as well as the finobacci sequence, which essentially sets the balance of elements within piece that’s more appealing to the eye.

Her style is almost elclectic in the sense where Tharien has create such a wide range of designs, from abstract painted works to fine illustrations, that her abilities are carried through a variety of mediums and themes.

In her new collection, Tharien explores a fearless fusion of South African heritage and a contemporary edge. This collection by Tharien Smith brings together the architectural beauty of the King Protea and Strelitzia with the raw energy of leopard prints and vivid, rhythmic abstracts. Designed for those who aren’t afraid of colour, this collection celebrates the fusion of fine art, textile design, and the wild, untamed spirit of the Cape.
