Welcome

T his might be the age of Google, where seemingly all the information required about anything under the sun is just a few clicks away, but there’s a lot to be said for having a single resource book at hand when there’s little time or energy to put in the necessary research yourself. When it comes to seeking out the most appropriate architect to take on a new build or renovation, or an interior designer who will work sympathetically with your own well-honed aesthetic or budget constraints, this is the best and most reliable place to start.

Now in its second edition, the Condé Nast House & Garden Design Directory brings together hundreds of experts in their field from the major cities in South Africa, from flooring contractors to fabric and wallpaper suppliers, upholsterers to lighting specialists and restorers of antique furniture. Need to choose a landscaper for an ambitious garden project or employ a master craftsman to create bespoke cabinetry? You’re likely to find the person or company for the job here.

Furthermore, the H&G team has added more than 60 new entries across the different sections of this guide, making it an even more valuable and authoritative tool for homemakers and those in the industry. Happy hunting!
