South African Style - Reviews
„Part of TASCHEN’s Icon Series, South African Style is a collection of photos portraying the best of South African interior and architectural design. The surprising and multi-hued collection is a diverse as the country and its people. Readers are given a peak into a Dutch colonial home on one page, and then invited into a traditionally painted Ndebele house on the next. Super modern city apartments and lush safari lodges bear testimony to a unique fusion of global and local chic that is thriving in South Africa’s interior design industry; while funky artist homes talk about a country alive with creative talent. But as you page through, it is the township interiors that catch the eye – perhaps not so much a question of „design“ as making the best of what you have, but astoundingly beautiful for this very reason. South African Style reflects the country’s tumultuous political history while celebrating ist rich culture.“ South Africa Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Hmmm. I guess when the hip German publisher, TASCHEN, release a title called South African Style, we've made it somehow. Internationally at least, a distinctive South African aesthetic has earned its decor stripes... So if you have some far flung guests you intend luring on holiday, a copy of South African Style may well do the trick."Sunday Times, Life Style supplement, Cape TownSouth Africa |
