14. TrooRa The Color Issue Summer '22

One of Kim’s interior design signatures is the use of this textured wallpaper, Textures Vegetales by Élitis (elitis. com), in this charcoal hue. The pair of wooden armchairs were purchased from Cécile & Boyd (cecileandboyds. com) in Cape Town and have been reupholstered for use in this space using Carriacou fabric by Pierre Frey (pierrefrey.com). The drum side table placed between the two chairs is from Cécile & Boyd (cecileandboyds. com), and the one at the window is from IKEA (ikea. com). The three sculptures of women in swimsuits at the top left of this gallery wall are by Marieke Prinsloo- Rowe (mariekeprinsloo-rowe. com), and the blue and red Matisse-style depiction of people swimming was picked up from an artist selling on the street in Amsterdam. The circle print is by Willem Boshoff (willemboshoff.com).

The Crittall-style glass doors and windows had been installed during the previous renovation. The couch and chunky side table are Cécile & Boyd (cecileandboyds. com) pieces, and the former is upholstered in a now-discontinued fabric from Mavromac (mavromacandthegatehouse. co.za). The square scatter cushions are covered in Arty fabric by Pierre Frey (pierrefrey.com), and the rectangular one is a beach scene on a cushion by Alexandre M-S (alexander-ms.hautefort.com). The Slim Aarons photographic print on the wall above the couch is entitled “Poolside Gossip.”

In the bathroom, all the sanitary ware and taps are by Lefroy Brooks (uk. lefroybrooks.com), and the patterned shower curtain is from Jonathan Adler (jonathanadler.com).
