Leading Interior Stylist Pays Homage to African Heritage

Mali Langa redefines interior luxury with launch of signature homeware collection.

Award winning interior stylist, Mali Langa, from TASK Interior Styling, is celebrating spring with the launch of her sensory, exclusive, Signature homeware collection.

With the first range titled Opulent: Oudh of Africa – paying homage to Oudh, one of the most expensive & desirable perfume ingredients in the world, from the wood of the tropical Agar tree – the TASK signature homeware range includes a luxury scented candle, reed diffuser, room spray and hand wash & lotion set, all of which contain this rare, highly prized ingredient, which produces the sumptuous scent.

“When it comes to opulence the word is synonymous with luxury & wealth. As Africans we are also blessed with rich soil and diversity in culture. In this range, TASK is celebrating our heritage and excellence with beautifully designed & packaged products that are of world class quality and proudly South African at the same time,” says Mali Langa.

Why a homeware range?

“With COVID-19 and an inevitable shift into businesses working from home, even after the pandemic, there has been a surge in online shopping in all its forms. Aware of the trends, TASK intends to supply our clients and consumers with quality, luxurious and original products to use as they rethink their interiors whilst spending more time at home,” says Mali. “We are offering luxurious products that not only delight the senses but are practical in a time where washing your hands and keeping a hygienic environment is essential.”

The packaging…

The stunning success of an idea that was conceived in the TASK design studio through the creative exploration of collaboration along with a commissioned graffiti wall in early 2020, express Mali Langa’s love affair with colour. This became the inspiration for the packaging concept. “The TASK Signature range is therefore not just an accessory, it is a lifestyle companion and a design element in your home,” says Mali. “We specifically wanted the products to be proudly South African in the sense that they are made and bottled here.”

Evolving Design

On a multi-sensory level, the range surely seeks to evolve design to a much broader level.

“A very big part of a luxury interior is what you smell, such as the soaps and lotions you use in a beautiful bathroom. This, along with the colours, patterns, textures and art in a space all influence your mind and wellbeing. As such The TASK Interior Styling Signature Range is fully expansive creating a luxury immersive experience and also includes scatter cushions and decorative wall artworks to follow,” says Mali.
