Experience Roche Bobois’ Haute Couture Creations in a Tailored Clifton Apartment Perched along the dazzling seafront of Cape Town’s exclusive Clifton neighborhood, a stunning apartment has been transformed into a vibrant expression of French artistry, design innovation, and personal taste. Curated with passion and precision by Riaan Leroux, our manager at Roche Bobois Cape Town , this space exemplifies how furniture can be more than functional—it can be an extension of identity. The owner, an accomplished art specialist, envisioned an interior that would not only reflect her deep appreciation for contemporary art but also create a seamless dialogue between artwork and furniture. The result is a home that blurs the line between gallery and sanctuary. A Masterpiece of Art and Design At the heart of the terrace—boasting uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean—sits the iconic Mah Jong modular sofa , adorned in vibrant Missoni fabrics. It’s a bold, playful centerpiece that invites b...

In a world where sameness is mass-produced, the true luxury lies in pieces made slowly, with intention, by skilled human hands. At Barrydale Hand Weavers , every textile is both a work of craft and a story of people, place, and tradition. For the past 17 years, the weavery in the Little Karoo has been a hub of artisanal weaving. They use flying shuttle looms—operated entirely by hand—to transform locally grown cotton into textiles that are at once functional and beautiful. Each towel, tablecloth, throw, and blanket carries the signature of its maker, a quiet individuality that machines can never replicate. Supporting makers is at the heart of what they do. The team is central, and it is not just a production line. Their skills are honed over years, their fingerprints woven into every thread. To own one of these textiles is to bring that human story into your home.   Uniqueness runs in two distinct threads at Barrydale Hand Weavers . O nce-off   bathmats, shower mats, and...

Open plan living has evolved far beyond removing walls—it’s a sophisticated design philosophy that reshapes how South African families connect, entertain, and live.  CF Architects approaches open plan design as both art and science, creating fluid spaces that feel expansive yet purposeful, beautiful yet practical. Let’s explore how this company transforms spacious layouts into functional sanctuaries that celebrate connection and comfort. Defining Zones Without Barriers The key to successful open plan design lies in creating invisible boundaries.
