Synopsis
Laurie Wiid van Heerden is an anomaly. At only 28 years old the prolific South African designer has already picked up numerous local awards and collaborated with artists such as Lionel Smit and local design peers Ceramic Matters. Under the umbrella of local design platform Southern Guild, Laurie has exhibited his covetable creations at international fairs such as 100% Design in London, Design Days Dubai, DesignMiami and Design Basel. What’s more, he didn’t graduate with a degree in any discipline or even attempt attendance at a tertiary institution. ‘Some things you can only learn through time, hard work and a hands-on approach,’ he says with a confidence beyond his years.
