FRAME BY FRAME

The kitchen's pared-back design echoes that of the house and places importance on the views outside; the artwork is by Cecil Skotnes. In the dining room, a Tom Dixon Pylon table is surrounded by Diamond chairs by Harry Bertoia – both designs use welded steel in interesting ways. The chandelier is by Gaetano Sciolari while a sculpture by Edoardo Villa sits atop the sideboard

框架之美

廚房的低調設計回應房子及將重點放在戶外景色的宗旨；Cecil Skotnes的藝術品。飯廳的Tom Dixon Pylon桌被Harry Bertoia設計的Diamond椅包圍，兩者均採用有趣的焊接鐵設計。吊燈出自Gaetano Sciolari之手，而Edoardo Villa的雕塑則安放在邊櫃上 various geometric forms of Paul Evans and Harry Bertoia. Julian calls it "Le Corbusier meets Ricky Lauren – that camping, rustic, modernist cowboy idea."

The art collection, mostly from the 1960s and ’70s, explores the links between Europe and Africa. Around the house you will find sculptures by the likes of Edoardo Villa, an Italian sculptor who stayed in South Africa after being captured during the Second World War and detained there. Erik Laubscher moved in the opposite direction: he was born in South Africa and ended up studying with Ferdinand Léger in Paris. Then there’s Cecil Skotnes, another influential South African artist who had a pioneering interest in African art but was heavily influenced by German expressionism. Another favourite of Julian’s is Trevor Coleman, who grew up in Johannesburg and spent time in New York and London in the ’60s, where he was influenced by the bold geometry and bright colours of the hard-edge painters.

The house itself explores similar ideas to the Chandigarh furniture, in its insistence on beauty and modernism, but at the same time it has complete off-the-grid self-sufficiency and appropriateness to its setting; it runs on solar power, and stores and recycles its own water. "It was an opportunity

教你往外發現。」單一龐大的直線外觀或許從原有頹敗結構中獲取靈感，但同時能為自身注入「強烈而簡約的外狀，和天然光線」。空間以白色作統一元素，石地板也能營造內外的無縫過渡。「一方面，能為Julian的珍藏品開出簡單而優雅的背景。」Christiaan說：「另一方面，則容許建築的形象消散，讓四圍景貌成重點。眼睛的焦點從而往天上看、往地平線發展。」

家居是Julian陳列不拘一格設計、藝術和裝飾珍藏的完美地方。Pierre Jeanneret傢具、由親人、建築師兼城市設計師Le Corbusier為昌迪加爾(50年代旁遮普邦的新首都)設計並傳承而來的Jeanneret。田園而現代的設計，混合Willy Rizzo的俐落風格與母牛皮元素，再加上走在Paul Evans和Harry Bertoia幾何形狀之間的路線。Julian將之稱作「當Le Corbusier遇上Ricky Lauren——揉合露營、田園、現代牛仔的意念。」

藝術收藏大多來自60和70年代，探索歐洲與非洲之間的關聯。房子周圍放有意大利雕塑家Edoardo Villa等人的作品，他在第二次世界大戰被捕及拘留在南非。Erik Laubscher則大走相反路向：生於
