From the African plains as wildlife filmmaker for National Geographic and BBC to turnkey projects setting up Lodges around the Greater Kruger for high end clients, It’s a Franci Design & Creative STUDIO’s final stamp lies in the Art and Art Curating of all her projects.

The choice of artwork that speaks to the environment and location of each Project as guideline, as Franci believes  “Art is in our landscape”.

Franci du Toit is a multi-faceted artist whose works are displayed in some of the continent’s most prestigious spaces. From Ulusaba, Sir Richard Branson’s Private Game Reserve, to Mines affiliated to ARM, owned by Patrice Motsepe, to the High Court Division of Mpumalanga, Mbombela Square, her influence is also visible in the Westin Cape Town, Weylandts, and the impressive showroom of Roche Bobois, South Africa.

Growing up, the Namib Desert was her playground. Its vast horizons, endless spaces, textures, shapes and light inspired her creativity from an early age. The narratives of her work aim to bring the reminders of the past, alive into the present.
