This spectacular apartment at the Mirage Hotel in the heart of Cape Town, is a perfect example of neutral done right. Jacob used a host of cool earthy colours as the backdrop that allowed him to layer up the space with warm textures such as the beautiful cowhide, knitted blankets and fur bed throw.

The result is a comforting and well-designed space where the rich textiles, contemporary lines of the high-quality furniture and interesting art pieces, come alive.
