Celebrating our Born Heritage with our “Local-is-Lekker” Collection

Celebrating our Born Heritage this Heritage Month

Heritage Day provides us not only with an opportunity to celebrate our diversity of beliefs and traditions, but to enjoy one of our favourite national pastimes. So, make your way to Born Furniture to find yourself the perfect home furniture to make your braai day even more special!

Defining our respective cultures and heritages in South Africa is at times challenging but often exciting. The humble braai has since become the de facto means for celebrating Heritage Day, and we have everything you need to get you grilling in style.

Any good braai, however, is not without a lekker seat. Lucky for you, Born Furniture not only has a selection of comfy chesterfields, but spectacular wingbacks to match. Switch up your usual braai dining area with contemporary dining chairs or a modern take on seating space.

Let’s dive into our Heritage selection:

A CHESTERFIELD FOR ANY OCCASION
Nothing brings the country together like watching the Springboks around a Saturday afternoon braai, especially during this year’s world cup. Whether you stay in Ladysmith or the Lowveld, rallying behind the national rugby team has become a pastime for many of us. Back our Boys and show your true support with a chesterfield sofa dressed in our signature emerald green leather.

EXTRA SEATING SPACE FOR THE TEAM

Having the entire support team at your home watching the game? Have an extra seat available by adding a wingback or tub chair to your home furnishing. An ottoman is also a wonderful addition as it can double as both seating and a footrest.

RAINBOW NATION

We have such a colourful heritage, after all, we’re not referred to as the rainbow nation for no reason. Bring our rich and colourful heritage into your home with our vast range of different colour leathers to upholster your furniture. From hues of blue to green, yellow to orange and even purple, we are guaranteed to have the colour you require.

CULTURAL DINING

Heritage Day is all about exploring where we come from and food is a major part of our roots. Whether it’s a braai, bredie, umngqusho or bobotie, feasting on some traditional South African dishes is another great way to celebrate your Heritage Day. Create a dining area that embodies your South African values by adding dining chairs from our Born Dining Collection.

As a last thought, use this time to not only celebrate how far we’ve come as a nation, but also to acknowledge how far we still have to go.

Rejoice in what makes us, us!

Happy Heritage Month!

Fun activities for the holiday

During the holidays keeping everyone entertained and happy is a challenge, especially when you have younger children. Luckily, Born Furniture has put together a list of fun activities to keep everyone in the house entertained.

Everyone loves good food and that is why we suggest baking cupcakes/cookies and decorating them with the help of your children. In addition, homemade pizza is always a winner for everyone. Other activities in the house include; building a tent using blankets and cushions or building an obstacle course.

Furthermore, on a lovely day spend it outside. Have fun building an obstacle course, go for a swim or have a backyard picnic. Another alternative is to play games like cat and mouse, tag, what’s the time Mr. Wolf, thief, stuck in the mud. Any of your favourite games will be fun for all age groups.

Similarly, arts and crafts are always fun for the little ones. Spend some time coloring in or painting picture. Learn a new skill like pottery, art, rock art climbing or drama at a place near you. Another way to get the creative juices flowing is by making masks, let the children’s imaginations run wild by making masks of their favourite superhero or animal, whatever they want to.

Moreover, go out and about, visit a museum, go see a new movie. Another favourite amongst children is fruit picking, and going to a farm or market. Go visit a theme park and enjoy the thrilling rides.

At night time make dinner together as a family, your children will love the experience. Have a movie marathon with buckets filled with popcorn and candy. Luckily, Disney movies are wonderful for the entire family. How about changing things up a bit and get behind the camera? Make your own family movie, the children will enjoy the roleplay and dressing up. Another favourite is a trivia night, choose different topics and fill your space with the laughter of your family enjoying the time together.

Other activities you can do is to play board or card games like Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, Snap, Uno etc. Have a themed day like pirates or princesses, dress up and roleplay for the day. Invite friends over to enjoy the fun. A slumber party is another fabulous choice, invite friends over pitch indoor tents and play party games, what a wonderful way to spend the night.

These are only a few ideas to entertain your family over the holiday. How do you keep your family busy over the holidays?
