Munich Re

The Brief

Munich Re, one of the world's leading reinsurance companies, required an art programme for their Johannesburg headquarters that would convey permanence, sophistication, and a commitment to the South African creative landscape. Latitudes commissioned us to curate and produce a collection that would function as both investment art and a daily source of inspiration for the workforce.

The challenge was to balance corporate formality with artistic energy - creating pieces that would hold their value while sparking genuine engagement from staff and visitors.

The Craft

The project brought together multiple artistic disciplines:

• Mirrored artworks by Pebofatso Mokoena using reflective surfaces and mixed media
• Sculptural pieces by Talia Goldsmith in metal and composite materials
• Curated placement throughout executive floors, reception, and meeting areas
• Investment-grade framing and conservation-quality mounting throughout

Each work was carefully positioned to interact with the building's natural light and sightlines, ensuring maximum visual impact while maintaining the professional atmosphere required of a global corporate headquarters.
