John Jacob Zwiegelaar

Out of Africa... South Africa to be exact - John Jacob Zwiegelaar is a very talented young designer who has made a significant mark in the design world - from the interiors of safari lodges, private villas and Cape wine tasting facilities to the redecoration and partial refurbishment of a Southern African game camp for the Saudi Royal Family's annual African holiday. Hel-lo!!! I am particularly taken by the perfect combination of function, comfort and sophistication in a classical setting. 

"His particular forte is a contemporary classic look defined by a series of monotones ranging from dark chocolate, to black and grey, each matched with white..."

  1. Oh, Phil! I'm so in love with everything you post!
    I was in South Africa about 5 years ago and really didn't want to come home - safari is just the most glamorously indulgent way to live. Real life just doesn't compare.
    Sigh...

  2. Dis fantasties om te sien dat John Jacob se werk op 'n internasionale blad gevier word! (I suspect you might understand this, since you hail from Pretoria - also my hometown!) Love the blog, and greetings from South Africa.
