The Vibrant Home of Two Cape Town Creatives Is a Compact Space Packed With All of Its Owners’ Favourite Things.
Step into Chris Viljoen and Christan Boshoff’s living space in their Green Point home in Cape Town and it is immediately clear that they are both keen travellers who collect beautiful things wherever they go. ‘One of the biggest draw cards of our place is that because it is contained; we can lock up and go,’ says Christan. ‘We often do home swaps, regularly swapping with a couple in Paris, as well as in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin and New York.’
They are both very visual people – Chris is creative director of Spree.co.za and Christan is creative lead of visual merchandising at Woolworths – and their obsession with colour is apparent throughout their space. Accent walls, which they change often, are painted in pale tones of blue, green and pink; books line the walls and art, ranging from a Salvador Dalí to a Henk Serfontein, abounds. They also share a love of ceramics, which you’ll see dotted around the home, and their collection includes pieces by Hylton Nel, Frauke Stegmann and Ceramic Matters. The result is a mesmerising space filled with treasured collectables, each with its own story.
