ScreenPlay Designs

Written by Shereen Lurie

ScreenPlay Designs is a Johannesburg based design company engaged in the revival and reinvention of the ancient art of screenmaking. The company makes folding screens perfect for any space in need of a standout design piece and is well known for their ability to instantly transform space, create atmosphere and conceal undesirable clutter.

The family-run company, founded in 2015, brings together the creative input of four people. The savoir-faire and contemporary dynamism of elegant man-about-town Dillon Bensusan, Tansy Bensusan’s playful penchant for the literary, the artistic and the exotic, and the innate understanding of beauty, design and quality that seasoned space-maker Carol Bensusan brings to the table, are grounded by Dave Hlatswayo’s earthy and artisanal approach to woodwork. The result is a lively meeting place between fashion, art and functional design.

To ScreenPlay Designs, feeling inspired means being alive and receptive to the experiences that every day presents us. Lately they’ve been paying homage to the inspiring pool of African style and vivacity with their range of traditional shoeshoe cloth and wax-print screens. ScreenPlay Designs also seeks to collaborate with local artists and photographers wherever possible. Created with a focus on ethical and socially and environmentally responsible design, these pieces acknowledge the importance of sustainability in art.
