With all the Pride celebrations happening this last weekend, we gotta add some LGBT-esque vibes to today’s post. Yes? And what better way to do it than showcasing this colourful Rainbow Room by Pierre Le Riche.

For this installation, Cape Town based designer Pierre Le riche, used 17 km of rainbow coloured yarn, covering all the furniture and creating some bright-hued walls. I love the concept behind this Pride-inspired piece; homosexuality and masculinity inhabit the exhibition to question the rejection of same sex couples. In this case, homosexuality is represented by the obvious rainbow flag colours used in the yarn, which are covering the whole room, including 150 rugby balls hanging from the ceiling – the masculine element.

It’s nice to see that Pride not only inspires people to dance on the streets, but it also sparks wonderful works of art like Pierre Le Riche’s Rainbow Room. Happy Pride peeps!
