In the living
area, the panoramic views invite one’s gaze outwards, but the plethora of colorful, eye-catching artworks arrests the eye within. The composite artwork on the right-hand wall is “Fragments” (2019) by John Murray, who is represented by Cape Town gallery Whatiftheworld (whatiftheworld. com), and is hung in a way that makes for a brilliant use of the apartment’s double-volume wall space.
ocean views and a panorama of the art collection is a classically elegant chaise longue, while vintage armchairs from Argentina face an L-shaped sofa in anticipation of late-night chats. Tucked behind the sofa along the wall, an industrial-style metal and wood server holds cocktail essentials, while the overall scheme is softened with beautifully layered suzanis, throws, and hand-embroidered cushions. Framed iron mirrors from Argentina magnify the plentiful natural light during the day, while multiple standing and table lamps scattered about the space–all of which sport colorful, patterned shades–suggest that evenings spent here are all about the easy intimacy created by a warm and subtle lighting scheme.
Similarly, the pair of en suite bedrooms exude an easygoing, bohemian style while also evincing total dedication to the comfort of their occupants. Both spaces feature walls clad in warmer, darker tones than the living room, luxe textures and textiles, and yet more carefully chosen art. For example, the pair of Michael Taylor works suspended above the bed in the master suite are both arresting and sensual–the ideal choice for such a space. And the room’s en suite bathroom is the last word in laid-back luxe, with a glass shower enclosure that connects its occupant with the expansive sea view. “Showering in it feels like you’re swimming in the sea,” says Véronique.
