How Much Do You Love Your Dog?

How about this for loving your canine. Architecture studio 07Beach created a separate staircase for their client's 2 dogs. Featuring narrower treads and shorter risers this staircase is LONG, almost wrapping around the entire room. Gotta love your dog to do this one!

House in Westville

We have recently completed another inspirational residential project. It was fantastic to have been involved in the process from the very beginning:  we saw the existing building being demolished; we worked with the architects on the new layouts; we designed the bathrooms; completed the ceiling and lighting layouts and chose all the finishes and fittings.


We worked on this project from the inception through to hanging the curtains, putting out the final cushions and hanging the last artwork.


We have become good friends with this client and wish this family true happiness in their new home

Here's a seemingly simple lighting solution for you. Japanese designers Nendo presented these lamps made from heated agricultural nets. These nets are normally used to protect crops from strong winds and curious birds, but through heat-forming were able to create clean and contemporary shades.

Just goes to show that sometimes the simplest solution can give the best impact.

The Upstairs

We know how you love an exclusive scoop. Here's a little bit of something that not too many Durbanites have been lucky enough to see yet. Jossi Design has been involved for the past few months on the upstairs area (hence the name) above Spiga D'Oro in the space that was, once upon a time, the old Roman Lounge.

The brief was for an edgy, fun and retro space with a strong graphic element which was brought in by use of original artworks. We haven't had the professional photographer through yet, but we couldn't wait to share these you. Enjoy!

Multi-Functional Design

We're getting to the stage where space in our homes is an absolute luxury. Living in cluttered and messy spaces is not for everyone so the clever designers at Jossi Design will share a thought with you. My inspiration started from a chance perusal of the @Home store at Gateway where I saw this little side table and magazine rack.

@Home

So simple and so smart. Not only do form and function work in absolute harmony, but using glass makes the table almost disappear in any space giving the illusion of more space. Here are a few more ideas for you:

MAG Table

Do you have an idea for a bespoke multifunctional piece of furniture? Give us a call at Jossi Design and we can bring it to life for you.

Designer Decor

If you are considering a sculptural artwork for your home there is no one I would recommend more than Astrid Dahl. Her unique aesthetic and sensitivity when working with clay is unlike anything we have seen before. Striking organic shapes are deceptively strong offering striking silhouettes in white clay.
