With Fathers Day knocking on the door, we’re looking at manly stuff: the kind of spaces that keep men in their element. First up, we asked ELLE DECO guest blooger, Cape Town designer Jaco Janse van Rensburg, to show us his work space.
“These are a few scenes from my studio. I love black and white. I find it easier to work in a neutral space. My desk is guarded by a print of Damian Hirst’s For the Love of God. I use moodboards for all my projects – I am doing some work for Shimansky at the moment so things are suitably sparkly in my room. The surfaces are covered in things I love and are always changing. The framed metal orchid was a gift from my wife and the mock croc bag from Zara can hold an A3 folder comfortably – perfect for presentations. The white dresser hides all my reference mags, so no clutter. This is where I can focus, think and do.”

Looks like a very stylish man cave. I was disappointed that the batman shades that didn’t get a mention though!
Love your space, it definitely lends itself to creative thinking.
As beautiful as I expected it to be…but I notice there’s nothing left in the decanter…or the glass for that matter(!)
That’s definitely not poor Yorick’s skull.
…that Damien Hirst print.

Even the shadows look like sculptures!
That’s great news for small businesses! It’s nice to see stuff being done to help entrepreneurs and small business owners succeed.
An inspiring and beautiful creative space Jaco… typical of you and your exceptional work
