Featured Designer: Judy de Villiers

Established by Judy de Villiers in 2009 as an interior design studio, South African-based JDV has grown into an interdisciplinary brand that has left its mark on how we think about design.

JDV has developed an extensive portfolio of prestigious projects in entry-level and luxury residential homes, country destinations and private lodges, and corporate premises while earning a name for dynamic collaborations.

The dynamic designer behind the brand is Judy de Villiers. With more than 18 years’ of experience in the design industry, Judy has developed an unfailing flair for translating clients’ unique tastes into singular designs. She is known for her accent on opulence, unashamedly embracing the hallmarks of luxury to blend craftsmanship with innovation, specialising in medium to large projects.

This has given rise to her trademark aesthetic; a blend of lavish textures and colours that creates a discernible and irresistible appeal, always in tune with the context and surroundings of her projects. Because one of JDV's values is creating spaces for clients that help them live their very best lives, one of the recent projects is a perfect example of comfort and design that brings unfettered joy.

Drawing inspiration from the home’s magnificent surrounds, JDV created a cocooning experience that stays true to their design ethos: luxury should appeal to every one of the five senses, culminating in an environment that is as tactile as it is beautiful. A space that immerses you in the extraordinary.
