House In Sherwood


This family home located in Sherwood, Durban, is magnificient!


The client worked closely with Jossi Design but allowed us to guide them through the design and decorating process in terms colour, finish, furniture and product design right down to the creation of the artwork and accessories, and we could not be more pleased with the result. Colour has been used as a powerful accent in all the rooms.


Wallpaper has been used extensively to create feature walls, in particular the striped wallpaper in the Baby's room turned out to be a huge success and gives the room a feeling of fun and happiness, and the wallpaper and mirror on the landing completes an otherwise dead space.


Furniture has been carefully selected and positioned in order to make the rooms feel larger and in correct proportion.






All headboards, bedside pedestals, workstations, bathroom vanities, built in cupboards were designed by Jossi Design and manufactured by shopfitters keeping in mind the function of the items as well as the look and feel the client was aiming to achieve.

Spiga D'Oro on Florida Road

Spiga D'Oro on Florida Road is just one of the exciting projects that Jossi Design is working on at the moment.  The back Piazza area has been open for a while now, with a few snags still to be attended to, but overall there is such a great vibe when you sit outside and relax near the water fountain. 


                                                  
The food of course is amazing and I love going to Spiga for lunch or dinner, so it is fantastic that I get to work on the interior design for this restaurant. 



We are now hectically trying to finish the front left hand side of Spiga.  This is going to have a totally different look, being more industrial with exposed cable trays and aluminium tubing on the walls.  The paint colours however have just been painted on the walls and it gives the interior a very soft and comfortable feeling so I think it is going to be a great success with patrons. 



There is a wonderful double volume space allowing us to hang a unique pendant designed especially for Spiga.  We just hope this arrives in time for World Cup Madness!



                                                  

We have decided to keep the old staircase and balustrade so there is a mix between old and industrial, which create an interesting feel.

                                               

Special thanks must go to Marco and Sergio for their great food, hospitality and the atmosphere they create by the presence at Spiga.  We love the restaurant and wish them all the best over the world cup season and for years to come.
