Client brief

Our client asked us to present and deliver designs that touched on the eclectic in places with ethnic accents and to provide colour schemes for a light airy finish overall. We were to provide fabrics, paint colours, lighting options and furniture choices for the living space, bedrooms and patio area and to manage and implement the project from start to finish. The idea was to incorporate into the design a mixture of new items together with our clients own collection of fabric pieces and artifacts that she had collected on her travels.

Outcome

An extremely fun collaboration experience with our client who had wonderful ideas of her own which we worked together into the various schemes. A combination of ethic wax fabrics, nguni hide, sisal matting, textured fabrics, vibrant colours, antique furniture and bamileke tables alongside locally custom-made wooden dining tables and drinks cabinets culminated in a finished design that brought sheer joy and happy travel memories into this new home.
