Conde Nast House & Garden

from the editor

INSIDER • THE SCOOP ON SHOPPING, STYLE, DESIGN & CULTURE

pigment of the imagination • From her studio-showroom in Cape Town, fabricdye artisan Genna Shrosbree uses ancient, organic techniques to create unique, hand-coloured pieces

BARK ORDERS • Atriums, conservatories and green rooms are the ultimate blurring of the indoor/outdoor binary. Take care to tend to the decor in these verdant spaces with a similar biophilic bent

FINCA CLEARLY • Tap into the classic Mediterranean sensibilities of the traditional Ibizan homestead, the finca, with simple, handmade pieces in natural materials that speak to a slower, carefree mode of living

NEW SCHOOL • With his poetic furniture designs and architectural structures, Switzerland-based artist and designer Ini Archibong is building an aesthetic world that centres the Black experience

DESIGN • KNOW-HOW AND DECOR DETAILS THAT MAKE THE LOOK

finely tuned • If the thought of a controlled palette of plants and materials conjures up a garden devoid of personality, think again. A restrained garden is the key to appreciating subtlety in every detail. We take inspiration and ideas from Red Daffodil Landscaping’s latest project

PLAYING IT COOL • Our South African summers famously bring the heat, and while that is great for getting outdoors, it makes interior cooling a necessity. Here are the aircons, fridges, ice makers and accessories that keep the sweltering season at bay

Sleeper Hits • While our collective chronic fatigue may be an unavoidable side effect of the times, take these necessary steps to upgrade your bedroom space and create an oasis of revitalising calm at home

GARDEN • PASSIONATE PLANTSMEN AND IN-SEASON BLOOMS

the green team • Garden Day is synonymous with flower crowns, sunshine and honouring our gardens and green spaces. We could not be more excited to introduce the new line-up of green-fingered ambassadors and champions shaking up the industry

Future tense • Landscape designer Franchesca Watson pays homage to guerilla gardening, inner-city greening and reclaimed verges as solutions to a greener and more sustainable future

THE EDIT • SUPERB HOMES AND STYLISH GARDENS

SOMETHING OF A NY STATE OF MIND • For London-born designer Lee Broom, a penthouse in Tribeca offered the unique opportunity to bring Manhattan’s industrial-urban setting indoors

THE BIG EASY • Sue Bond invites us into her maximalist, classic, yet undeniably inviting Fresnaye home, a testament to the interior designer’s instantly recognisable style and talent as a conversationalist through design

NATURAL SELECTION • Actress and avid collector Philippa Berrington-Blew’s courtyard in Cape Town is as much a reflection of her globetrotter’s spirit and prized flea market finds as it is her flair for curating beautiful outdoor spaces and her love of nature

a quiet place • Award-winning interior designer Fiona Lynch heads up a dynamic team of creatives at her studio in Australia. Rooted in their commitment to sustainable practices, this luminous sanctuary in New South Wales is no exception

GARDEN STATE • The gentle pace, simple yet sophisticated spaces and immersion in nature make Fynbos Family House an idyllic family escape
