Die skrywers neem alledaagse items en gee dit 'n kinkel. Herwinning en hergebruik is sleutelterme in hul ontwerpe. Soos hulle sê: 'Tendense kom en gaan, maar jy moet in jou huis leef - maak dit dus 'n geriefl ike ruimte wat kan groei en saam met jou verander.'
Die projekte is geskik vir alle handwerk- en dekor-entoesiaste, van beginners tot dié met meer gevorderde vaardighede.
Die skrywers is innoverend en inspirerend en gebruik verskillende materiale om gewone voorwerpe in iets anders en mooiers te omskep. Daar is iets vir almal: óf jy verkies om projekte aan te pak met 'n handsaag en 'n koordlose boor, handwerkpapier en 'n skêr, óf met 'n naald en delikate afwerking. Hulle verskaf idees sodat jy projekte volgens jou eie styl en behoeftes kan aanpas.
Pragtige fotografie, bondige instruksies en besondere ontwerpe beeld ruimtebesparingstegnieke, gebreide toumatte, gestoffeerde sitplekke, gestempel teëls, nuwerwetse buitesitplekke en nog vele meer, uit.

Hierdie boek vier die wonderlike suksesverhaal van die skeppende geeste wat jaar na jaar bydra om KAMERS die grootste vertoonvenster van plaaslike talent in Suid-Afrika te maak.
Bella, soos almal haar noem, was lank by die tydskrifwêreld betrokke as skoonheids- en moderedakteur. Daarna het 'n vryskutloopbaan as modestilis en blogger gevolg en in 2012 het sy die kosmark by Die Palms in Woodstock begin. In 2013 het sy haar eerste KAMERS 'pop up deli' gehad. Haar smullekker quiches, befaamde rissiesous en Weskusmossels in 'n pikante roomsousie het uit haar keurige stalletjie gevlieg.

South African interior designers and decorators are as good as, if not better than many of their British, French and American counterparts. Indeed, their work is sought-after for its peculiar freshness, African-ness and originality, and many of them regularly accept commissions abroad and have their work published in international interiors magazines.
Style Icons is a remarkable, varied collection of places designed and decorated by tremendously talented people, some of them very well known, others less so. Interestingly, although they're all so different and varied in style, their roots are essentially in sync and they have a single voice. This is the first time such a collection has been put together and it provides a unique opportunity to compare such talent all in one volume.
This highly visual book features 12 South African interior designers, each with their own unique style and approach to design. In their own words, each icon talks about their inspirations and influences, their stylistic range, their likes and dislikes, and how they see themselves and their work. They address the difficult question of what makes them South African and how their work brings that across, focusing on a few specific projects, and discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by each one.
Carefully selected, beautiful full-colour photographs of various aspects of the projects discussed illustrate each designer's signature style, giving a feel for their work and capturing the essence of what it is they are striving to achieve in the African context.
