When you want a gift that’s truly unforgettable… an Ubuntu Bowl always delivers 💫

This beauty was flown all the way to San Salvador for a birthday celebration; hand‑delivered, loved instantly, and now living its best life in a home far from Cape Town.

Art travels. Ubuntu travels. And we love hearing stories like this.

This Sunday, 12 July, we’re bringing RED to Marble Cape Town’s Seven Colour Sundays Brunch and we couldn’t be more excited.

Marble has partnered with the V&A Waterfront and V&A Watershed to spotlight local makers, and we are the featured artisan for the Red Sunday experience. Our pieces will be woven into the campaign visuals, and on the day you’ll find a curated selection of our red‑themed work displayed inside the restaurant.

If you’re joining the brunch, come say hello, browse our pieces, and enjoy a winter Sunday filled with colour, flavour and creativity.

See you on the rooftop this Sunday. ❤️🔥

Cape Town’s **Marble Restaurant** is putting a proudly South African spin on Sunday indulgence with the return of its **Seven Colour Sunday Brunch** — a vibrant celebration of food, fire, and flavour.

Running from **5 July to 16 August 2026**, the experience reimagines the beloved “7 Colours” tradition through Marble’s signature open-fire cooking, set against sweeping views of the V&A Waterfront. Expect a generous sharing-style menu built around colourful, seasonal dishes that pay tribute to local heritage, paired with live music from KFM 94.5 for a relaxed, feel-good Sunday atmosphere.

Designed as a long, social brunch, the experience blends nostalgia with contemporary dining — where each plate is crafted with colour, creativity, and a distinctly South African sense of abundance.

📍 Marble, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
🗓 5 July – 16 August 2026 (Sundays)

It's soccer season and we’re thinking back to 2010, the year South Africa hosted the World Cup, and the year Iziko Museums of South Africa commissioned unique Ubuntu Bowls from us to honour the occasion.

For those, our traditional circle of women became soccer players, standing together in unity and celebration.
A reminder of how art captures history, culture and the spirit of a nation.

It was a proud moment then, and it's proud memory now.

Cape Town, it’s been a wild few days of wind, rain and icy air… and this chilly Wednesday feels like the perfect moment to seek out a little warmth and beauty. ❄️🔅

If you’re at the V&A Waterfront, pop into our Zizamele store at the Watershed; it’s bright, colourful and full of handmade joy, the perfect escape from the cold weather outside.
