Africanissiomo!

I brought a May issue of House & Garden South Africa back with me recently as I love the way animal hides, leather and indigenous pieces are used together. Liz Morris, the editor, calls it "Africanissiomo". It makes for a very eclectic look but sophisticated look.Just a couple of pieces can make an ordinary interior become interesting .

This is a house in Little Venice, London decorated by Hubert Zandberg Interiors. A lot of the art was bought in South Africa.

Photograph is by Pieter Hugo whose work you can see at the Michael Stevenson Gallery, Cape Town. Have a look as It's fantastic.

Also love the table in the style of Gio Ponti.

Beautiful Brazilian Art Deco leather couch and chairs.

The paint finish on the walls is apparently like Chinese lacquer work, giving them a"glazed" look. The walls are all painted in a grey with aubergine undertones. Works well as a back drop to artworks. Love the Etro cushions and citrus ottoman.

Aren't these antique mirrors beautiful? More lovely cushions, this time from Paul Smith.
