How the studio works
You work directly with Jonathan, from the first conversation to the final styling.
The starting point is how you use your home. The studio develops the design, sources furniture and finishes, and oversees installation and styling.
- 01
One point of contact
Jonathan takes each project from the first ideas to installation, so the person you brief is the person who finishes the work.
- 02
The whole room at once
Layout, furniture, colour and lighting are considered together, from the overall plan to the details in each room.
- 03
Trusted makers and contractors
Suppliers, makers and contractors are brought in as the project needs them, and the studio coordinates the work.
- 04
From wherever you are
Owners based elsewhere review proposals and approve selections remotely, with progress updates as the work proceeds.
His designs are stunning and he takes the stress out of all renovations big or small. If you need an interior designer who cares about you as a client and your spaces, then we cannot recommend Jonathan enough.
In print and on television
The studio's work has featured in SA Garden and Home and SA Home Owner, and Jonathan has had multiple appearances on The Home Channel.
Homes for returning clients
Clients from the studio's early Johannesburg projects have since returned with homes on the coast.
