Celebrations are made all the more beautiful when they are created with a sense of balance and harmony.And despite my appreciation of all things luxe and lavish, I have an especial admiration for that which is crafted with restraint.
In a country like South Africa where there is a chasm in society between the wealthy and poor, excess has a way of contaminating things, a reality which is often lost on those expressing that opulance.
So this glorious celebration scene styled by Lo Bjurnuf for Ikea carries with it a resonance of that sensitivity.
In its gentle simplicity lies the perfect space to be happy, and animate the memory beyond the setting.
