You're seeing it here first.
The design has changed from how it looks here, but I can give you the first glimpse of the beautiful original artist concept design for SABC3's brand-new morning show Expresso that's set to debut on October 4 and that will be broadcast on weekdays from The Equinox building in Cape Town.
Expresso produced by Tswelopele Productions with presenters Liezel van der Westhuizen, Ewan Strydom and Katlego Maboe will boast at lounge area such as in the artist's impression above, and also incorporate a vast kitchen as envisioned below. The Fold Architecture is responsible for the interior design of this highly anticipated new morning show that will have a strong emphasis on lifestyle matters. The set has to be a real, functioning space which is making the new The Equinox building and its top floor pent house in Sea Point the perfect place.
I'm told the top section will accomodate the big set where filming will take place, with all the back of house and utility areas, as well as a full production office one floor below. The set will incorporate the latest in touch screen technologies and rear-projection screens. Besides the lounge and kitchen there will also be a performance area for artists, a state-of-the-art gym (Ewan Strydom will be the fitness expert) and expansive terrace with panoramic views Cape Town.
Get ready for couture and high-end industrial design and a ''fantasy world'' I'm told, with ''hanging gardens and an abundance of natural South African light''. Some of the best international companies as well as local designers and artists are working on this new SABC3 show's set design at this very moment.
