Kathi and Klaudia Weixelbaumer are a formidable team, working to create interiors that are not only beautiful, but that reflect their owner's personal style and requirements. It's this attention to detail that has earned them a name internationally, with ongoing prestigious commercial and residential projects. We talk to them about what makes them tick.
Q
Why did you choose a career in interiors?

We didn’t choose it, it chose us!
Q
Do you have a specific style? What inspires you?
A
A collection of extraordinary objets, making the interior more bespoke and timeless.
Q
Tell us about your latest project.
A
Our latest client and project is a firm favourite. An Indian couple came to visit Cape Town and stayed at The Cape Grace Hotel. They were taken with the interior, which we completed in 2008, and asked to meet us. This led to redecorating parts of their family home in Bangalore, India. This client was trusting, brave and had a great eye for bespoke decor – an absolute treat to work with.
