Table Mountain Yellow Frame (V&A Waterfront)
Table Mountain Yellow Frame (V&A Waterfront) stands beside Cape Town’s harbour, with Table Mountain filling its bright yellow opening. The waterfront puts boats, water and mountain together.
The interactive installation belongs to a citywide series created by South African artist Porky Hefer. This structure came first.
Its design celebrates Cape Town’s World Design Capital designation and presents Table Mountain as a natural landmark. Pantone C109 gives the surface its official yellow.
At 2.8 metres wide and 4 metres high, it creates a strong photographic view. The harbour remains visible around the mountain.
The installation invites you to see the city through a deliberate frame, whether alone or with companions. One detail stays unmistakable: yellow against stone.
