John Jacob Zwiegelaar of John Jacob Interiors is one of my all time favorite designers. Only in his early 30's, he opened his Cape Town firm in 2005 and already has an impressive portfolio. This home appeared in the May 2006 issue of House & Garden South Africa. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do. It's almost Friday!Thursday, September 9, 2010

I have never heard of this designer but he is on my radar now. Amazingly beautiful designs. LOVE+
Gorgeous!! I love that round table in the first photo! xo
p.s. I am having an Ann Taylor Loft giveaway if it interests you!
All of that fretwork, carvings, and inlay are what make these spaces go from boring white to nuanced and beautiful.
Very beautiful spaces, what a talent at such a young age! So much great texture. I especially like the all white convex mirror with the eagle. It's always fun to see something classic and traditional given a new twist!
I am blown away by these images! So young and yet so sophisticated! Adore him!
Absolutely beautiful images. I love the mirrored cabinets, the mirrors, and the Louis chairs against the beautiful white.
Have a nice day!

The South African n designers are really coming into their own.
I'm a sucker for pretty white room.

Layers of white always soothe and calm me. These are beautiful layered!
this space is to die for-- all of the mirrors are so elegant, and I love, love the two convex mirrors with the eagles in white-- traditional but presented in a modern way! Lovely!
Stunning! I love that mirror above the tub in the bath.....everything is TDF!

Wow, no kidding perfection in white! My husband is Indian and we own a Cape house in New England that wants rather traditional New England styling, and I've been trying to think how to incorporate some of the traditional Indian look- this is some great inspiration! Thanks for sharing it!

PS- Do you think there are actually that many carved screens in the house, or do you think they just carted the same one into every shot? :)
Very elegant and glamourous. Love the mirrored cabinet doors and the dining area. The lacy screens are beautiful too.

Oh, what a find!! Gorgeous. Each room has a detail that is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this designer who is new to me.
Yep - I love it too. The white on white is just so serene and peaceful.
This house is stunning!! I adore a neutral palette and this is done to perfection. I'm heading straight over to John Jacobs Interiors.

I am afraid it would not stay white for long, with my family! (even though I do love them and all their imperfections) That place is va va va voom!
