"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."
