John Jacob Interiors – Luxurious Environments that Engage the Senses

Good interiors can be enjoyed through comfortable and intelligently placed furniture, high-quality materials, or elegant colour combinations. But when the art of design is brought to perfection, all these elements come together in a single environment. This environment creates certain meanings and evokes strong feelings of harmony and coziness.

That is how the amazing spaces created by John Jacob Zwiegelaar can be described. And these are the qualities that have earned John Jacob Interiors the status of this year’s winner of Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the category of Best Luxury Interior Design Studio in South Africa. 

John Jacob Interiors is the brainchild of South African interior and architectural designer John Jacob Zwiegelaar. From a young age, John was attracted to everything related to lifestyle and wanted to tie his life to the hotel and restaurant business.

However, after gaining experience in the hospitality industry in Ireland, he realized that he was not so much interested in the operational side of hotels but rather in the design and development of spaces. After earning a degree at the University of Cape Town, John Jacob studied at Design Time in Cape Town. And in 2005, he founded his own interior architecture and design studio, which quickly gained the status of one of the most prominent interior design studios in South Africa and also far beyond.

Stylish, bespoke interiors

Today, the John Jacob Interiors portfolio includes a long list of extremely stylish bespoke interiors, each one so different from the other that it’s hard to believe they were created by one person.

However, it could not be otherwise, as John develops each project as a meaningful narrative that communicates with the client and creates a specific experience based on the client’s ideas, vision, and requirements. In the process, JJ Zwiegelaar collaborates with South African artists, sculptors, antique dealers, galleries, and fabric houses as needed to ensure client satisfaction.

The projects by John Jacob always stand out for their unique style, whether it’s a luxury seaside villa for a celebrity, a flagship boutique for a fashion house, or a small residential space. Regardless of the type of project, it will have sublime chic, impeccable proportions, and unwavering attention to the quality of the smallest details and finishes. At the same time, John Jacob’s distinct individual style gracefully works to reflect the client’s character and personal preferences. 

A global affair

John Jacob Interiors’ geographic reach extends beyond South Africa to Europe, including London, Berlin, Oslo and New York. The studio takes a holistic approach that encompasses the entire design process, including architectural design, custom furniture creation, interior decorating, and the treatment of the garden.

“I am honored to find John Jacob Interiors on the list of South Africa’s best interior design studios by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards version. It is an extremely gratifying experience to be recognized for work that brings pleasure to both me and my clients,” said John Jacob. 

John Jacob Interiors is highly regarded by experts in the interior design industry, but the main connoisseurs of the studio’s work are its customers. Thanks to the talent of John Jacob Zwiegelaar, their residences not only become meaningful bespoke environments that reflect their lifestyle but also are featured in the most authoritative media about design.
