AVOOVA

The AVOOVA shop is in the iconic hotel's reception area. The new Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg, is a stylish urban resort. Elevated on a hillside with panoramic views across the Johannesburg Zoo and the prestigious neighbourhoods of The Parks, the Hotel is still conveniently close to business, culture, shopping and leisure activities. The hallmark of the varied range of AVOOVA items is the luxurious layer of ostrich eggshell that decorates each piece. Hundreds or thousands of shards of broken eggshell - collected from local ostrich farms - are painstakingly selected and placed in individual designs by the skilled artisans at the company's workshops in the Karoo. Beautiful wooden bowls, contemporary tableware, fashion accessories and jewellery - functional art for the home - all designed and exquisitely handcrafted using this resilient, eco- friendly material. The company will also make signature pieces to order - from tables and mirrors to bar tops and bespoke jewellery and counts many of South Africa's top hotels, lodges and resorts amongst its clients. Visit the AVOOVA shop to experience the timeless beauty of the Karoo and some of South Africa's most creative, environmentally sustainable and unique pieces of craftsmanship.
