Ambrose Rweganwa Manga, Groundskeeper, Singita Grumeti: I participated in the process of setting up Serengeti House with Franco, Georgie, Emma and Sacha – and my involvement in the project made me feel valuable. They were fun to work with and taught me a lot. Doing this, I gained knowledge that I didn’t have before. The entire process was interesting, and spending time with the team has increased my skills. All the results and improvements of the project made me feel important and made me learn – from one thing to another. Rebecca Moore, Director, Sidai Designs: Collaborating with Singita is always an immersive experience rooted in mutual respect and a shared vision. Working on the piece for this project was both a dream and a challenge, pushing us creatively and technically. To say the team was proud would be an understatement. Families came in to see the piece, countless photos were taken, and there was
a shared sense of joy and accomplishment in what we had created together. For the women involved, who quite literally embroidered their lives into the canvas, it became more than a design – but a reflection of identity, community, and memory. Sacha Pagani, Project Design Manager, Singita Style & Design: Sharing a design with an external party can feel quite vulnerable. And it’s surprising to discover how enthusiastic and supportive studios, suppliers, and manufacturers can be when presented with a brief that deviates from their usual work. The completion of any project often evokes a whirlwind of emotions, leading many to feel the need to take a step back after being so immersed in a particular vision for an extended period. However, with Serengeti House, the experience was distinctly different; it radiated a sense of tranquillity and contentment. This space embodies the warmth and familiarity that one associates with a true home.
Right A home where warmth is the overwhelming feeling, Serengeti House was crafted with love, and this pervades throughout.
