Jossi Design has been working on a cricket box at Kingsmead in Durban. With one week of design work and one week installation we are very happy with the result.

The deadline for this project was extremely tight. The client contacted us 2 weeks before the first game for the IPL in Durban! It was decided to use as much of the eixting fittings as possible. The kitchen cupboards have all been resprayed and new handles installed. We designed a cupboard unit to house the Fridge and sprayed this to match the new cupboard doors. A new granite top was installed on the kitchen counter, and we decided to mosaic the kitchen wall using the one of the company colours as the dominant colour, and the accent of the green is also a company colour.

The existing bar was turned around so that some of those people frequenting the box could eat at the bar. We added in the higher glass counter top with stainless steel supports, the whole bar was resprayed (originally this was a wood veneer). We also installed a new walnut timber laminate floor over the existing tiles.

We repainted all the walls, but not before moving any plug points that were affecting the design, such as moving the TV point and allowing for the illuminated company signage on the wall. We added a floating shelf under the TV so that people can place their drinks here while wandering around the box.

Finally the low counter (originally a melamine counter) was removed and new granite installed to match the new kitchen counter top. New chairs were purchased for this area so people can sit here and eat and still watch the game without blocking the view of others within the suite.

We are very happy with the outcome and enjoyed working on this project, although quite stressful with such a tight deadline. For further information on our projects please go to our website www.jossi.co.za

JOSSI DESIGN FABRIC ARRIVAL

We have just received our latest collection of fabric books from Alhambra. These beautiful fabric books are going to make our lives at Jossi Design much easier.

Alhambra Maya has incredible bold stripes and florals, the colours are vibrant and exciting. These fabrics will make wonderful accents in any scheme and we can't wait to use them.

Alhambra Kronos is made up of a variety of unique voiles, some glitsy stripes and others so fine and delicate that they will add a touch of elegance to a picture window.

Alhambra Emotions will appeal to a smaller group of clients, possibly more the lodges and south african themed upmarket restaurants and hotels. There is a definite ethnic theme running through these fabrics but also some organic floral shapes so there is a mixture within this book which also includes some interesting wallpapers.

Alhambra Montecarlo has so many options it is a lovely book, with interesting florals like the Maya however this is more subtle in design and colours.

And finally Alhambra Essence which is the wallpapers, and there are some amazing and interesting wallpapers that I am looking forward to using. It is tiring seeing the same wallpapers over and over again so I am glad to have add this book to our collection.

Apartment at Westbrook Beach

The holiday apartment at Westbrook beach is complete. The final touch was added yesterday (Friday 24th April) and we managed to take some photos of the final result.

The Lounge makes use of various shades of green, and this is emphasised by the large artwork on the wall above the couch. The reading chair is accentuated by the tall freestanding lamp and glass side table with white vase.

The rug serves as the final touch adding texture and elegance to the lounge while also defining the space.

The lounge server floats on the wall to create an impression of space, this is combined with the silver framed mirror above which reflects the light in the room. The side TV unit is designed to work well with the floating server by using the same finishes in its design.

The Guest bedroom is restful and tasteful in design. The colours reflect the green from the lounge but these are more muted colours, which goes well with the dark wood of the bed and bedside pedestals. A unique mirror above the bed becomes a feature with the lamps and frames on either side of the bed adding a bit more interest.

The daughter's room is simple yet fun with the splashes of pink and the inspirational canvas artwork above the bunk beds.

As with the other furniture in the apartment, the dressing table was designed by Jossi Design, adding to the idea of 'fun' within this room. This unit is of white sprayed supawood with the back of the shelving painted in the pink colour we have used for the accessories within the bedroom.

The Main Bedroom is elegant and uses pale blues and silvers in the accent colours, which reflects the view of the sea from the sliding doors. It is a very relaxing interior, the fabrics used are luxurious which emphasises that this is the Main bedroom! Again mirrors above the bed have been used instead of artworks as this works very well with the accent colours.

The patio furniture is simple with the cushions and accessories used being shades of bright blue/ aqua colours. The white lantern adds some interest to the space and this rests on woven round ottomans which are stacked up but can be used as additional seating for childern.

The interior design of this apartment has been tremendous fun and we at Jossi Interior Design are very proud of the outcome.
