"Interior Designer John Jacob Zwiegelaar's aesthetic approach is a holistic one, from the architecture of the space and custom furniture pieces down to the trimming on the last cushion.For John, interiors need to have a narrative, layers of meaning that work together to create not just a cohesive living environment but also an experience that engages the senses.John's process is meticulous, with no detail overlooked, whether that means redesigning the structural layout to a complete overhaul of décor pieces, the end goal is always constant: the pursuit of harmony above all else.Since establishing John Jacob Interiors in 2004 John has gone on to create highly bespoke interiors from Cape Town, Johannesburg to London, Berlin and Oslo."
