Table Mountain Yellow Frame (Signal Hill)
Table Mountain Yellow Frame (Signal Hill) stands on Signal Hill in Cape Town, South Africa, with Table Mountain as its central view. The yellow frame belongs to a wider series around Cape Town.
South African designer Porky Hefer created the frames to draw attention to Table Mountain from different locations around the city. Each frame uses Pantone C109, the official colour of World Design Capital 2014.
This installation measures 2.8 metres wide and 4 metres high, creating a rectangular outline around the mountain and city bowl. Signal Hill places the frame above Cape Town.
The view includes Table Mountain and the city bowl, showing the mountain range beside the city. The frame also provides a backdrop for photographs.
Its yellow structure combines a designed object with a visible landscape, linking Signal Hill, Table Mountain and Cape Town. The arrangement invites you to look through the frame towards the mountain.
At sunset, Table Mountain and the city bowl form the scene beyond the bright yellow border. The spot connects public art with a recognisable Cape Town view.
