Loaf love: Farm-style white bread 

Makes 2 x 30cm round loaves  

Ingredients 

 2 cups (500ml) tepid water
2 Tbsp (26g) sugar
1 Tbsp (10g) instant yeast
¼ cup (60ml) oil
5 cups (750g) cake flour
1½ tsp (7.5ml) salt  

Method 

1. Stir together water, sugar and yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes until the surface of the mixture becomes frothy. Add oil.  
2. Place flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment (or a large mixing bowl).  
3. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead on medium-low for 10 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl halfway through. (If kneading by hand, first use a wooden spoon to combine the wet and dry ingredients, then once the dough has roughly formed, turn out onto a working surface and bring together with your hands, kneading until smooth and elastic).  
4. Lightly oil your mixing bowl, place dough inside and cover with cling wrap. Set in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size and springs back when poked.  
5. Lightly flour your work surface and turn dough out, kneading a few times to remove the air.  
6. Dust the bases of two large oven-safe pots with flour. 
7. Halve the dough and work each into a smooth ball, pinching the dough at the bottom.  
8. Place the doughs in their prepared pots, cover and set aside for another 20 minutes.  
9. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. 
10. Score a shallow line down the middle-top section of each dough before placing in the oven and baking for 35-40 minutes. (Alternatively, bake one at a time.)  
11. Remove and cool in the pot for another 20 minutes before turning out to cool completely. Store at room temperature in a sealed container to preserve freshness, or pre-slice and freeze in an air-tight bag or container for up to 1 month.

We all know and love him as one of South Africa’s most recognisable voices: a radio icon, DJ, producer and cultural instigator. In person he’s all that and more! Being on set with Roger is less like shooting with your usual celebrity and more like trying to harness the wind. If you thought he has energy on air, wait until you meet him in person.

He’s the human form of ‘zest for life’. Within minutes he’s brought an energy to set that you try to match and get swept up in – or get left behind. He paces between equipment, asking intriguing questions, cracking the best dad jokes and, naturally, taking complete control of the sound system, singing along to his favourite Afrobeats songs.

On the surface, Rachel Kolisi has always appeared fearless. For years, South Africans have watched her move confidently between the worlds of philanthropy, motherhood, entrepreneurship and public life with remarkable poise. But the truth, as Rachel herself has begun to share more openly, is that courage is rarely loud. Often, it is quiet. It is the decision to keep moving forward after life changes direction.

As she undertakes a new personal journey, it’s clear that it’s one defined not by the roles people once associated her with, but by the woman she continues to become. Through motherhood, personal reinvention and the release of her new documentary and memoir, Falling Forward, Rachel is reclaiming her story and building a legacy firmly on her own terms.

The post Rachel Kolisi enters a new chapter appeared first on TFG Media.

Natasha Vermaak (née Joubert) entered her first modelling competition at the age of 10 – and wasn’t thrilled about it. Her world revolved around her big brother, so the self-proclaimed tomboy dragged her feet shopping with granny for a dress at one of the popular clothing chain stores.

She secretly straightened her curls on the big day. When her mom arrived home from work, she ordered Natasha to wash her hair, air-dry it and wear it natural. There were tears. Fighting. Long faces. Until, to Natasha’s surprise, she won. 

She was amazed that she could walk onto stage as the rugby-loving, wild-haired karate kid and it would be more than okay – she could just be herself. Natasha returns to that lesson often, especially during her first attempt to gain the Miss SA crown and years later when it was placed upon her head. Now, she’s remembering that moment as she steps up and into the spotlight again – this time, as a new mother. And as whoever she may become after that…

The post 4 Chic boot styles to elevate your cold weather looks appeared first on TFG Media.

While trends in interiors rise and fall, chairs are often seen as the most mundane piece of furniture. They’re also interesting sites of opportunity for reinvention. The simple and universal chair tells the story of design more clearly than any other object. Its evolution maps shift in power, technology, domestic life, and our changing relationship with comfort. A quiet constant of our lives, it waits for us at the dining table, holds us through long conversations, caters towards community, supports us as we work, and receives us at the end of the day when the body finally asks to rest. More than any other piece of furniture, the chair captures how we live. To understand the chair is to also understand ourselves as people. Let’s take a look at this item through the ages. 

1800s: Status and hierarchy

In the 19th century, chairs were markers of status. Heavy, carved wooden seating reinforced class distinctions and social order. Sitting upright was a moral and cultural expectation, particularly in public and formal domestic spaces. Then in 1859, Michael Thonet’s Chair No. 14 changed everything. Using steam-bent beechwood, it reduced the chair to six components that could be mass-produced and flat-packed with ease. Affordable and lightweight, it suited cafés, restaurants, and growing urban life. Culturally, this chair reflected a society moving towards industrialisation and shared public space, where sitting was no longer reserved for royals or the elite. 

1920s: Modernism and a new way of living

The inter-war years embraced technology and structure. Designers rejected ornament and tradition, favouring efficiency and rational design. Chairs became expressions of the machine age, embracing geometry and strong symmetry. The iconic Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer (1925), made from tubular steel and thick leather or canvas, embodied this shift. Inspired by bicycle frames, it used strong industrial materials that were not associated with domestic furniture or reflective of Bauhaus design philosophies. Its functionality and linear openness suited modern apartments and progressive lifestyles, suited towards the optimism in industry as well as the belief that design could reshape society. 

1950s & ’60s: A modern family home

Post-war, society turned inward and homes became spaces that sought solace, introspection as well as family time. Design became more human-centred and emotionally engaging. The Eames Lounge Chair (1956), redefined luxury as comfort. A design we all know and love, its moulded plywood shell and leather upholstery embraced the body rather than correcting it. Around the same time, Arne Jacobsen’s 1955 Series 7 chair, offered a lightweight, stackable solution for modern living, perfectly suited to smaller homes and communal spaces. Together, these designs reflected a culture balancing new hopes, desired peace and stability. 

1970s: No rules, but experimentation

The 1970s rejected rigid social structures. Living became more casual, and interiors followed suit. Seating moved closer to the ground, encouraging relaxed postures and a sense of communal living. Michel Ducaroy’s Togo (1973) playfully represents this cultural shift, formed entirely out of a soft, unstructured foam. Earlier in 1967, Verner Panton’s Panton chair captured the era’s fascination with new materials as well as expressive form in a sculptural, single-piece plastic chair.

These designs suited a generation questioning tradition and embracing the extraordinary. 

@alexandyuyu Episode 2 | Design You Need To Know: The Panton Chair 👽 Alex & YuYu are breaking down the “impossible” 1960s icon that took 10 years to perfect. Verner Panton wanted to kill the traditional chair legs and replace them with this Space Age cantilever curve. It took a legendary collaboration with Vitra to finally crack the code of the world’s first single-mold plastic chair. From broken prototypes to the Pop Art legend it is today, this is the history of a design that was decades ahead of its time 🪑✨ Follow for episode 3 Masterpiece of too edgy for your home? 👇 #designtok #designhistory #pantonchair #spaceage #designyouneedtoknow ♬ original sound – Alex & Yuyu

1980s: The chair as art

In the 1980s, furniture became a statement. Chairs were no longer a neutral piece of functional design, but rather grew to express personality, ideology and wealth embraced through colour, exaggeration and symbolism. The Carlton Chair by Sottsass (1981) challenged the idea that seating had to prioritise comfort. It functioned as a cultural artefact, reflecting postmodernism’s spirited rejection of traditional modernist restraint. Gaetano Pesce’s UP5 chair (1969), was made popular in the ’80s with its anthropomorphic form that turned seating into art.

These designs mirrored a decade obsessed with visibility and self-expression made possible through design and technological innovation. 

@admiddleeast It was 1968, and Gaetano Pesce was in the shower. “I had the sponge in my hand,” explains the Italian designer. “When I pressed the sponge, it shrank, and when I released it, it returned to its original volume.”An idea occurred: Couldn’t a chair behave the same way? Today, we take a look back at Pesce’s revolutionary feminist seat.

‘90s & early 2000s: Minimalism and global living  

 As lifestyles became more mobile and globally shared by means of a digital revolution, design grew quieter and more versatile. Homes required multifunctional and less formal design. A reimagined plastic chair, moulded out of a simple length of plastic tube, Jasper Morrison’s Air Chair (1999) offered simplicity, durability as well as adaptability made perfect for everyday use. In 2002, Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Chair similarly reinterpreted the chair’s historical form through transparent plastic, reflecting a new culture that valued irony, accessibility and mass appeal.  As an emerging digital landscape monopolised mainstream culture, chairs resorted to functionality as flexible living tools rather than fixed design statements. 

2010+: Soft modernism and craft

This era marked a shift away from stark minimalism toward warmth, tactility, and emotional connection. As digital life accelerated beyond belief, interiors became places of retreat as design began catering to personal refuge. Chairs grew softer, more enveloping and more expressive of craft. Patricia Urquiola’s Husk Chair (2011) exemplified this era’s desire for comfort without heaviness. Its quilted shell and modular cushions reflected a culture craving softness and adaptability. Jaime Hayon’s Ro Chair (2013), with its high back and cocoon-like form, responded to a need for privacy within open-plan homes. This decade’s seating mirrored a generation balancing online connectivity with a desire to slow down. Here, chairs became places to withdraw, not just to sit. 

The Present: Hybrid living and concious comfort

The 2020s are defined by blurred boundaries, a time where history repeats itself and the future faces us head-on. Our living situations are reflective of this, as dining rooms double as offices, or living rooms host meetings, meals and rest. Chairs must work harder than ever. Jasper Morrison’s HAL Chair (2014), ahead of its time, has become a staple of this era, unassuming, minimal and ergonomic. Herman Miller’s Gaming Chair (2020), on the other hand, is representative of today’s chronically online society, made for long hours of sitting facing a screen. Chairs today are signs of the times, hopelessly in flux, as we find ourselves relishing in nostalgic designs and planning for the inevitable future.  

Beyond: The future of sitting

The future of the chair moves beyond static form. Designers are increasingly working with algorithms, biology and responsive materials to create seating that adapts to the body and environment. Luxury brand Kartell and designer Philippe Starck have embraced AI, generating a family of chair designs that use artificial intelligence to create minimalist, structural designs made out of recycled materials. Studios like FormaFantasma challenge the industry with recycled electronic waste seating concepts, speaking to a culture grappling with overconsumption. Studio Nucleo’s bio-grown design Terra (2000) has been reborn with their infamous laser cut cardboard frame that can be filled with soil and grass seed to become a fully grown lawn armchair. Looking forward, chairs may be grown rather than built and printed rather than assembled.

1 large packet (150g) pecan halves 
Whipped cream, for serving
Honey, for serving (optional)   

Method 

1. Roll out pastry on a floured work surface to 4mm thick. Line a 25cm tart tin with pastry, cutting away any excess pastry. (See cook’s note.)  
2. Use a fork to prick the base of tart, which will allow steam to escape. 
3. Place a sheet of baking paper over pastry, covering completely, then fill to the top with raw rice or baking beads. Chill. 
4. Preheat oven to 200°C.
5. Steam pumpkin on the stove or in the microwave. Cool slightly.

8. Blind bake tart shell for 20 minutes. Remove rice or beads and baking paper. 
9. Pour pumpkin batter into the par-baked tart shell. 
10. Bake for another 25 minutes.
11. Remove, top with pecan nuts and return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes. 
12. Cool for 10 minutes in tin before unmoulding. 
13. Serve tart warm with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of honey, if you like.  

Cook’s note: 

To extend your pastry, line your tart tin and cut the pastry level with the edges by rolling your rolling pin over the tin or cutting with a sharp knife. Then, using your index- or pinkie finger (depending on tin size) press against each fluted indent to extend it over the tin’s edge.
