n khensani Rikhotso lives a passionately-led
life of balance, calm and purpose for herself
and her son — protecting everything

them. Mother, business owner and self are identities
Nkhensani has grown into unreservedly. By the time
12 000-and-counting Instagram followers caught
onto her plant-parenting magic, her inner self-work
of discovering a new identity had long begun.
Her awareness of the benefits of interacting with
nature inspired her to green up her home. One plant
marked a definitive way to affirm her healing journey,
and hundreds of green girls later, learning to care for
plants wholesomely fed into lessons on caring for
herself. Soon, followers and plant parents alike would
reap the harvest of her work. HerMerakai evolved
from a lush lifestyle page into a business serving
indoor plant styling and care products.
It was not easy discovering what it takes for plants

session, the intention with which she nurtures her
plants influences how she tends to herself.
The time Nkhensani spends observing their
vitality while tending to their needs nudges her into
introspection on her own vitality. Understanding
plants has made it easier to define what she needs to
thrive. ‘I know, during this season, that I need things
that make me feel connected to my sense of self.’
This concise list includes the grounding and elation
only her son evokes, the people who know her well
past her successes, and meeting her own emotional
and mental needs, be it a salt bath or a solo date.
Nkhensani foresees expanding the HerMerakai
Indoor Plant Concept Store into new spaces and
introducing new products. Its essence is to make
understanding and caring for plants easier for
her customers, and Nkhensani can attest that it
is possible.Q

MONDAY, 16 MAY
I woke up to the smell of fresh croissants
and the sounds of Brussels outside my
window. An Uber driver and some kid on
an electric scooter were having a debate
over traffic rules, but I was in the capital
of Europe, and nothing was going to ruin
the moment.
Filled with excitement, I navigated
cobblestone streets, crossing canals and
open piazzas with angelic sculptures
towering over the throngs of tourists. Here
I was, after months of preparation
in beautiful Belgium to showcase my

Galerie Revel.
Collectible Design Fair attracts designers
from all over Europe. For three days,
the Vanderborght Building transforms
into a display of functional art and
collectable design that challenges
traditional craftsmanship and pushes
contemporary materials.
After a week of setting up the booth,
entertaining the press and meeting
new faces, we got on a train and left
for Bordeaux.

JOURNAL
MONDAY, 09 JUNE
Like a freshly graduated student, I stuffed
a backpack full of clothes and left for
Milan – and Salone. It was sweltering,
and the streets were buzzing with artists
and designers all competing for the city’s
hottest commodity: a taxi with aircon.
Later that afternoon, the city smelled
like jasmine as I walked back to my Airbnb
from the Duomo di Milano. For the first
time, everything was quiet, and I realised
that I had never experienced something
quite like this moment. Sandwiched
between the sheer grandeur of the
architecture and the ubiquitous
glamour of luxury fashion flagships,
I felt quiet gratitude, having just met my
representatives from Galerie Philia and
Collection Gallery for the first time.
THURSDAY, 23 JUNE
It has been more than a month since my
arrival – and I am back in France. The
residency project has evolved from paper to
maquette, and the first pieces are coming
out of the kiln. Prince [owner of Gallery
Revel] and I decided that the composition
had to reflect the landscape of Bordeaux as
a wine region to tie it back to South Africa,
specifically Cape Town.
From my research and exploration of
the area, I decided to interpret natural
elements – the vineyards and dunes – in an
abstract manner with the Garonne River as
a central organising element in the work.
FRIDAY, 15 JULY
Today I am overjoyed. All fifteen pieces
made of chamotte clay survived the final
firing. Up to now, we have only seen the

WEDNESDAY, 13 JULY
Winding through the winelands, we
headed to a dilapidated chapel on top of
a hill that would serve as the location for
an outdoor photoshoot. The soft morning
light illuminated the structure through thin
medieval slits in the wall and set the mood
for discovering ‘relics’ from a past life.
TUESDAY, 02 AUGUST
It is my last day in Bordeaux, and we are
hanging the work in the gallery. We waited
for late afternoon to switch on the LED
light in the relief and take the final interior
images. As the photographer puts away his
camera, melancholy fills me. The next time
the work is displayed will be at Paris Design
Week, and by then, I will be back in Cape
Town and my studio. But, for now, I drink
good wine and swim in the Mediterranean
with my partner Colin.
SATURDAY, 06 AUGUST
After 10 glorious days of travelling to
Saint-Émilion, Arcachon, Marseille and
Paris, it was time to return home. The
South of France was captivating with
natural settings, such as the Calanques with
olive trees hanging from cliffs over crystal
clear water and the quaint town of Cassis
(and the best seafood). Colin and I took
a train back to Paris, where we spent two
days exploring the city. I really wanted
to see the Fondation Louis Vuitton – and
everything about it was breathtaking. The
scale, innovation of material and artistic
genius reminded me why I love being
a designer and maker. We had our last meal
on the terrace of a typical, red-awninged
Parisian restaurant in Montmartre before
heading back to the hotel. France had
been a journey, but every experience led to
something greater. My camera roll is filled
with memories and my heart is full. Q

PROFILE
Driven by a desire to create

feel-good spaces
brimming with colour
and pattern, Cape Town
decorator Juliette Arrighi
de Casanova shares her
unique approach to
interior design
TEXT JENNIFER WORTHINGTON-SMITH
PHOTOGRAPHS GREG COX
20 HOUSE GARDEN NOVEMBER 2022

t he verb ‘to zhuzh’ means to improve
something, to boost its character, giving it
sophistication and flair – which is exactly
what decor editor-turned decorator Juliette Arrighi
de Casanova (whose nickname – in a noteworthy
case of nominative determinism – is ‘Juj’) does for her
clients when they hire Juj Living.
‘I am all about beauty. When I have got beautiful
things around me, they are bringing me joy,’ says
Juliette, whose energy is bright, colourful and full
of feeling, while her empathy and eye enable her
to create spaces that tell a story but still make
them effective and functional. For Juliette, there
is something deeply personal about being able to
not only enter but change people’s homes, and the
vulnerability and trust that goes with that is not
something she takes lightly.
Adaptability is a hallmark of Juj Living’s practice;
creating rooms that can as easily be shown off at
a cocktail party as settled into with a private cup of
tea. By determining what is important to a client,
what makes them happy, and what pieces or fabrics
spark inspiration, she is able to make their space
work in more ways than one.
What began as styling and decorating has
expanded into an online shop, sparked by the
debilitating effect of this pandemic. Undaunted by
the inability to enter clients’ homes, Juliette used the
time she had been given to create a product – thus,
the Juj Living Candles were born.
Juliette believes in constantly expanding her
knowledge and skillset. ‘I will not stop learning.
I do not think I will ever stop learning,’ she says, TOP DOWN
describing the experience of her candle-making JULIETTE’S
SIGNATURE ‘BUJI JUJI’
journey. She met with various candlemakers, learned WILLOW CANDLES
about the process, and now has a selection of candles IN BLACK AND BLUE;

charities with whom Juliette works. She is currently JULIETTE ARRIGHI
in collaboration with the Butterfly Art Project, an DE CASANOVA
organisation that uses art as therapy for children
in need.
‘I want everyone to thrive,’ she says, discussing
the evolution of her role as the bridge between her
clients in Cape Town, looking to update their spaces,
and local artists and creators. As Juliette’s business
expands into new niches and projects, one thing
remains constant: every place she enters is left with
a little more Juj.

discerning eye and can-do attitude. They asked him to infuse his

into colour,’ says Justin.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP RIGHT THE DINING ROOM

TABLE IS BY ROOM AND BOARD, ITS BASE REFINISHED

FROM BASSAM FELLOWS; THE WALLPAPER IN THE
FOYER IS BY KELLY WEARSTLER FOR LEE JOFA
Fun pops of blue are incorporated throughout most of this home, in the wall
coverings – midnight and pale blues – the navy velvet sectional sofa in the living
room, shades of sky blue in the guest bedroom, accessories and art. Through
careful repetition, Justin achieved a subtle sense of cohesion, breaking up the blues
with white, grey, and black accents and hints of orange for warmth. ‘In the main
bedroom, in particular, I wanted to bring the green tones of The Highline,
a landscaped urban park viewed from the window,’ he says. ‘This was an
opportunity to take a break from blue to avoid being too thematic.’
The neighbouring galleries inspired Justin’s bold choice of artwork. ‘I needed
to give the art room to breathe, drawing attention and creating interest,’ he says.
The designer incorporated large-scale pieces to balance the expansive windows.
This included a print of polo players wearing cobalt-blue swimming caps by Roger
Camp from New York-based Robin Rice Gallery in the living room, which is fresh,
young and unexpected. And an artwork by Tyler Guinn in the dining room, tying
all the colours of the neighbouring rooms together and adding texture.

circumstances. Collections signify an
intimate and curious relationship to
ownership and they are closely tied to
memories. They enable us to physically
hold onto important milestones, images
and events by crystallising them into
tangible, personal archives. Beyond purely
personal pursuits, however, collectors
play an important role in preserving
cultural heritage and the evolution of
creative industries.
Perhaps this is why the history of the
art market is so closely related to the
origin of collecting in the cabinet
of curiosities (wunderkammer) of
the Renaissance. Referring to
drawers, shelves, or sometimes entire
rooms, wunderkammers impressively
showcased an encyclopaedic collection
of art objects and other marvels. Those
collections told tales of distant travel and
adventure or represented tokens of taste,
wealth and intelligence. Each compilation
of curios was carefully sourced, arranged
and preserved to the owners’ preference.
By amassing a diverse collection of
precious, albeit sometimes unrelated,
objects, the wunderkammers of the past
formed the organisational basis of
museums today. That, in turn, influenced artists and curators, Michael is determined in Los Angeles, and by the late ’80s, I was

And encountering it first hand,

what were your thoughts?
I was astounded by its originality. While
always grounded in a historical context,
which could be fine art making in the
western sense or traditions found only
in Africa, the approach to process and
materials is incredibly new, creative and
fresh. And there is most definitely an Afro-
centric paradigm that infuses the works.
Is there any particular type of art

medium that appeals to you?
I am a big fan of sculpture; both the
monumental and the maquettes. It is
the medium that most speaks to me.
Secondarily, we collect works on canvas
and paper. We also like collage as it is an
amalgam of both mediums. We recently
acquired a William Kentridge collage of
a black rhino we really enjoy.
How would you describe your

Michele’s is a steel totem we installed on an

How do you envision the

Originally from the Eastern Cape, Rudi and Este

Franz, a couple and co-owners of Creative-Cables
South Africa, chose to relocate their family to
follow their dream of running a lighting company
that could fill a gap in the marketplace. The
pair had noticed the difficulty in locating good
quality cables in South Africa and the ready-
made lights that were not up to spec. So, they
began researching companies and came across
Creative-Cables, based in Torino, Italy. It took
a few email exchanges for the Franzes to hop on
the next plane to Italy and have their contract
signed – Creative-Cables was officially coming to
South Africa. The brick-and-mortar store opened
in October 2019 in the Stellenbosch valley, and all
seemed on track until the pandemic struck. Rudi
and Este needed to think on their feet and form
a suitable solution, leading them to move their
family to Cape Town.
Their current store at the Woodstock
Exchange is more of a design space for you to
pick your items, mix and match and play with
various elements to create your perfect light.
Every part of their lighting is customisable,

Pasta, the newest addition to
the CBD’s ever-growing eatery
portfolio and the first pasta
bar of its kind in the city.
Restaurateur Paolo Carrara
(Burger & Lobster, Iron Steak
and Hacienda), together with
his partners Niko Tiftikidis
and Anthony Protoulis, has
tapped into the pasta bar trend
that has emerged in major
cities around the world by
teaming up with his longtime
friend and Michelin-star chef
Luciano Monosilio to serve
tapas-style pasta dishes of
established recipes with
an edge.
‘From the moment you
arrive at Scala, you will think
funky, trendy and modern
but all done with Italian class.
With each bite, we want our
guests to be transported to
Italy as if they are eating at
Luciano’s restaurant in Rome.
Everything we serve and how
we serve it is how Luciano
does at his restaurant. You
cannot get more Italian than
that,’ Paolo enthuses.

THE KING OF CARBONARA OPENS to present the three kinds of
CAPE TOWN’S FIRST PASTA BAR pasta they create daily in their

“Pasta Laboratory” – semolina, organic eggs and tipo
00 flour.
Luciano is affectionately dubbed the King Of Carbonara,
so it is no surprise that his signature carbonara is a must-
order. Influenced by his seminal years in Rome, the balance
of egg and Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano
results in a lightly coated al dente (with a bit of a bite) pasta
that surprises with crispy bursts of guanciale (pork cheek).
When asked when his fascination with carbonara began,
Luciano explains, ‘It started in 2012 at my first restaurant
Pipero al Rex. I put all of my modern knowledge and fine-
dining techniques in every one of my dishes to make them
subtle, in a good way, as I did with the carbonara.’
Paolo also recommends the pici cacio e pepe (cheese
and pepper), a complementary blend of crushed black
peppercorns and Pecorino Romano that creates a vibrant,
tangy sauce to accompany the hand-rolled 00 pici. Egg
tortellini, filled with coal-roasted tomatoes and accompanied
by light lashings of burrata (cow’s milk Italian cheese) and
a healthy dusting of black truffle is another highlight on the
pasta menu – from which it is suggested to order three to five
dishes per couple.
Even though pasta is the main character, meat, poultry,
seafood and vegetarian dishes – prepared using their
premiere Josper charcoal oven imported from Spain – make

The most popular choice for a bathroom finish, tiles are easy to
clean and can withstand extreme moisture while being quick to
adapt to even the most classic design schemes [3]. They can be
cost-effective (when compared to natural stone and timber) and
come in various colours and finishes. High-gloss, patterned and
patinated designs [4, 5] are having a moment this year, and so are
asymmetrical shapes, as our approach to bathrooms becomes
more experimental and personal.

Contrary to popular belief, wood is completely safe to
include in your bathroom space, provided that it is properly
treated to withstand water damage and there is sufficient
ventilation to avoid moisture buildup in the bathroom.
The use of timber imparts warmth, both visually and to the
touch, making it ideal for barefoot spaces.

teven Whiteman makes a beeline for one
of his newest shop arrivals as I follow
behind in close pursuit. We quickly arrive
at a display table where he picks up a box
covered in a joyful network of colourful squiggles,
admiring it from all angles. ‘Look!’ he says, beaming
as he thrusts it into my hands. Unboxing it, I find
it houses an ingenious little embroidery kit by The
Fabled Thread, an Aesop-inspired (of the storytelling
– not skincare – kind), sew-it-yourself take on the
cautionary tales made for a stitching enthusiast. ‘It is
our latest darling. Isn’t it so clever? What a present!’
It is as if Steven is a kid who has just landed
in a proverbial candy store, if the candy store in
question was a symposium of carefully collected,
artfully displayed objets and accessories – the design
equivalent of a sweet tooth. But this is no candy
store; it is Pezula Interiors’s new address, just across
the road from its former location yet far removed
from it too. ‘The previous showroom was quite dark,’
he says. ‘Cosy, romantic, but dark. With everything
that has happened in the world, there is a push to
become less austere and more utilitarian in how
you decorate.’
The move was serendipitous for co-owners Steven
and partner Camilla who, when the property across
the road became available, saw an opportunity to
satiate their inclination for space-making in an all-
new home. Here, the Whitemans get to spend their
workday experimenting, reimagining and playing.

Then there is the fashion. Camilla’s latest find is a range of

linen Grecian dresses that call for balmy summer afternoons.
It is a touch of the Balearic, a solid dose of Cycladic and
a thread of Swazi, all grounded by local originals resulting in
a sort of Afro-Aegean contemporary mashup that just works.
And it is washed in natural light, which only highlights the
raw, earthy materials such as rattan, clay and seagrass that are
complemented by splashes of bold colour. ‘There is this ever-
present theme of rattan throughout, a lot of natural material
– things that are crafted, not mass produced and generic.’
Those outside of the Western Cape will be thrilled to hear
that Pezula is launching an ecommerce site soon, so you can
fill your house with its pieces at the tap of your fingertip.
But when in Cape Town, why shop online when this is right
on your doorstep? To use a familiar design analogy, Steven
compares Pezula Interiors’s new home to a blank canvas.
‘Here, there is no limit to what we can do. We can make
the space into anything we want on any given day. It is like
coming to a play school.’ Q

THOMAS HAYES desert oasis, part Zen garden, it would
not be a stretch to call this California home
a veritable Yin and Yang of design; a balance
between equal and opposing forces – light
and dark, mass and air, nature and man –
that finds not just cohesion but dynamic
synergy. ‘The house is designed so that
you are aware of the setting in every part
of the home,’ says David Lucas, creative
director at Lucas interior architecture and
design studio, who, with his sister, principal
designer Suzie Lucas, spearheaded the
project. A‘ nd, thanks to its configuration,
it takes full advantage of the beautiful
desert weather.’
This becomes immediately apparent
upon entering the home’s private
courtyard, which leads to the front door
and open-plan interior spaces beyond and
concludes at a glass wall providing views
of the surrounding golf course and distant
mountains. ‘It really sets the mood for the
house,’ says David, whose team worked
closely with the landscape architect to
create an entry courtyard that felt ‘as if you
had crossed into a spiritual space.’
Inside, the floor plan is arranged so that
a main, central room encapsulates the
communal areas – kitchen, dining and living
rooms – and leads out onto a covered lanai,
also complete with a conversation space,
dining area and outdoor grill and kitchen.
In addition to this, there is a separate
speakeasy-style bar, which can also be
accessed off the main courtyard. ‘Private
wings extend off of these larger, main
entertaining spaces that are centred
in the home to separate more intimate
spaces, such as the media room and
bedrooms, and to allow our clients to relax
and retreat to,’ says Suzie. ‘We focused on
the flow and function of the various living
spaces to achieve a cohesive experience,’
continues David. ‘Each design decision
needed to have the effect of unburdening
our clients from their daily lives to create an
environment where they could truly relax.’
Drawing on the surrounding desertscape
– wheat-toned sand, sun-scorched rock,
silvery greens and weathered timber –
David, Suzie and their team wove the

story of the land into every element of the home’s

interior design. ‘The house is so connected to its
environment that it felt necessary to let this drive
decisions around texture and colour,’ says David.
‘Broadly speaking, we embraced the concept of wabi-
sabi as a macro influence on the design. We wanted
forms and materials to feel beautifully imperfect and
simple.’ Using the already existing exterior and interior
limestone as a springboard, a tightly edited, mostly
neutral palette was employed, punctuated by pops
of metallic while bespoke oak cabinetry throughout
was lightly cerused to accentuate the natural grain.
This Japanese element appears again in the wet room,
complete with restorative soaking tub and reflecting
pool (the latter inspired by the moon viewing platform
of Katsura Imperial Villa). ‘It is not so literal in most of
the home but is a spirit that can be felt throughout.’
Perhaps the most deftly played dichotomy within
the home is that of air and mass, where robust,
rectilinear architecture is juxtaposed with softer,
free-flowing forms, such as the Alexander Lamont
‘Woven Orb’ lanterns or the statement ‘Oo’ clay lamp
by Eny Lee Parker. ‘Overall, we sought to express the
feeling of being grounded in the house, so much of
the design has a low centre of gravity, but is balanced
with levity and light,’ says David. ‘Many of the interior
architectural features and furniture are detailed to
float, such as the indoor and outdoor kitchen islands.
These are massive stone blocks that have a strong THE PRIMARY

Taking a moment to pause and reflect, the Greyton

country home was always on the cards for
Oggie Flooring founder Nick Gluckman. A ‘ fter
I got married – I knew that before we had kids,
I wanted a country home for us to spend quality
time together as a young family,’ he says. This
old-meets-new home in Greyton was precisely
that; a 512-square-metre second home to escape
the busyness of daily city life and congregate
as a family within natural surroundings,
enjoying outdoor activities and spending
quality time together.
The location was ideal, being far away enough
to feel like an escape yet close enough for an
easy commute. A ‘ nd while our kids are still small
and their diaries simple, we want to make the
most of this small town.’ says Nick. ‘Greyton
as a community makes you feel connected to
the space. It lends itself to things you normally
would not find yourself doing, such as family
hikes to the waterfall, catching up with locals
on daily walks and being greeted by the grazing

were pulled through to the Greyton one, but
the finishes were ever so slightly more robust,
with a quirky nod to the country feel through
little items brought in,’ says Zeanne when asked
about the influence of the design.
The flooring is, of course, a point of pride in
the home. Zeanne + Goss chose to highlight
their beauty by contrasting the hardwood
against other finishes. ‘You will see that we
contrasted it against the klompie brick, which
runs along the home’s spine, connecting the
old with the new. While ceramic tiles are used
in other areas of the home, Oggie Flooring
was installed in the bedrooms, living space and
other important communal areas.’ says Zeanne.
This helped carry the warmth throughout the
space, lending itself to the varying textures in
and around the rooms. Rattan, leather and
other natural fibres were well incorporated
to complement the flooring but used simply
and elegantly to not over-clutter. Zeanne
adds, ‘We wanted to use robust finishes that
they would not feel sorry for; so huge leather
sofas, a massive James Mudge table and other
accompanying pieces to make the home
feel comfortable.’ The sleek dining chairs
picked up on the language of the lights, with
other black furniture pieces enhancing the
massive structural beams that run throughout
the home. These high ceilings provided
commentary on the cathedral aspect of the
space, one that was open and filled with an
abundance of love and happiness.
On working with the Gluckmans, Zeanne
mentions, ‘There is nothing greater in this
world than to be called upon again by a past
client. It is such a great compliment, and we
truly value the relationships we have built in
this industry over time. It is great to work for
clients you hold in such high regard.’ While
the space has many links to their existing Cape
Town life, the Greyton house was more of an
ode to the Gluckman’s love of entertaining.
The love of their pets, their young kids and the
outdoors have really made this house a home. Q

Newman Architecture & Design pride itself on investigating

a site thoroughly and interrogating the clients’ brief – both
architecturally and in terms of the interior design. ‘We like to work
from an early stage with other specialists, especially on landscape
design, which we see as a crucial part of the overall design of this
home,’ Karen says.
Enlisting the help of landscape architect Tirzah Webb, the
team began work on the outdoor area to create a welcoming car
court to serve as a magnificent entrance to the property. This
area is contained by a courtyard of buildings and is beautifully
complemented by the garden and ponds at the front door. The
car court provides a decent view of the home and all the materials
that work in unison to give the space its identity, such as the granite
cobbles, stone cladding, natural slate roof and aluminium shutters.
Newman Architecture & Design source all their materials and
commission specialist items from manufacturers in direct response
to their clients’ aesthetics and passions, which is truly evident in this
project through the usage of contrasting materials, light and space
and elements of colour and fun reflecting the family’s personality.
Timeless architecture with a modern interpretation sums up
this home’s character. The vaulted-off, shutter-concrete ceilings in
the entrance area create the first impression that the home plays
with classical elements with a contemporary edge, which continues
throughout. The combination of breathtaking architecture
alongside alternative and classic furniture makes this manor house
beyond comparable and a treat for the senses. Q

In celebration of 25 years spent protecting, rehabilitating and conserving rare
and endangered fynbos species, a private nature reserve on the southern tip of
Africa has produced a groundbreaking new book, Grootbos Florilegium

he flats, slopes and valleys of Grootbos Private Nature Reserve are
a microcosm of the extraordinary botanical diversity that characterises the
indigenous flora and fauna of the Cape Floristic Region, one of the most
species-rich habitats in the world. It is also the setting for their new book.
Drawn by the flora, immense vistas and ancient milkwood forests, Michael
Lutzyer and his father, Heine, purchased the then Grootbos farm in 1991.
When Michael took his father to view the property, the hills above the old farmhouse
were awash with pink blooms of the indigenous coastal malva flower, Pelargonium betulinum.
‘Never mind the views,’ reminisces Michael, ‘it was the flowers that persuaded my father to
invest in the farm with me.’
By 1996, soon after the Grootbos Lodge welcomed their first guests, Michael and
Heine met young botanist Sean Privett, now Director of Conservation on the reserve
and the author of Grootbos Florilegium. With Sean’s passion for conservation and gift for
interpreting and sharing the stories of the fynbos, they found an immediate connection
– and so began their botanical exploration of the reserve. Sean began by laying out 50
permanent five-by-ten-metre vegetation plots across the 2 500-hectare reserve. Plot by
plot, 323 different plant species were recorded that year and the first species new
to science, the Grootbos heath (Erica magnisylvae).
Sean and Heine would uncover numerous rare and endangered plant
species, including additional species new to science. A chance meeting
of renowned South African botanical artist Vicki Thomas saw her
commissioned to paint a number of these and the seed to create
a collection of botanical art was planted. In 2019, an invitation
went out to the world’s greatest botanical artists to create
original artworks of the unique flora found on Grootbos.
Led by Vicki, small groups of artists arrived to experience
the enormous diversity and hand-select plants to paint
that personally resonated.
The culmination of this journey is Grootbos Florilegium,
a 320-page synthesis of art, natural science and storytelling.
Breaking with long-standing tradition that prescribes plants in a
florilegium to be depicted as solitary specimens in isolation from
their unique habitat, Grootbos Florilegium showcases them alongside
their pollinators, associated insects and animals and, in some instances, in
the landscape they are found.

Grootbos continues to grow their
knowledge of the remarkable
diversity and ancient landscapes of
the reserve. At the time of curating
the book, their list of recorded plants
had grown to over 900 species,
seven of which are new to science.
Highlighting just how biodiverse the
area is, entomologists have recorded
over 2 000 different insects to date,
including 34 species of ants and

Grootbos’s Artist-in-residence
Chris Lochner describes how
painting plants forges a deep
connection with the natural
world and unveils the process
behind creating botanical art
When a botanical artist first

selects their plant, it is akin
to falling in love. As with any
infatuation, the first phase is
marked by a period of intense
discovery. The artist strives to
learn all they can about their plant
and the buoyancy of inspiration
brings a sense of effortlessness
to their work. Botanical art is,
however, a time-consuming
business, and as the beginner’s
luck wears off, the hard work
sets in. This phase often involves
self-doubt, perhaps even struggle
or avoidance. With perseverance,
a state of flow is reached. Their
initial love for the plant returns,
and the fruits of their labour
become satisfying. Eventually,
after weeks or months, a point is
reached where the artwork feels
ready, and the artist can step back
and let go. But once a plant has
been painted successfully, the
artist will feel a lifelong kinship
with it. Whenever encountered
in fields, gardens or photographs,
they will instantly recognise the
plant as they would an old friend.

is not one to shrink from a challenge. So, when
former clients approached him to furnish their new
apartment in just four weeks, he took on the task
without hesitation. ‘There was a palpable sense of
urgency,’ says Anlo, recalling the initial meeting
with the couple, whose work in finance and fashion
requires them to oscillate between Joburg and Cape
Town. ‘Three years of staying in Airbnbs and hotels
had taken a toll on their wellbeing, and they longed
for a base that felt familiar and personal.’
While they had anticipated finding a property on
the Atlantic Seaboard, the couple’s search for a ‘smart
lock-up-and-go with a short commute to the airport
and city centre’ led them to Bridgewater, a vibrant
mixed-use development in Century City. The secure
living environment appealed to them as did the
convenient access to running trails and waterways in
Ratanga Park, the expansive adjacent green space.
The apartment in question – a sunlit two-bedroom
penthouse – presented a distinctly modern sensibility,
most evident in the open-plan living space featuring
seamless finishes, off-shutter concrete ceilings
and bulkheads. ‘The interior spoke to our love
of clean lines and minimalism, but it seemed to Drawing from the bespoke print in the living area,
