Vintage Safari Decor
Out of Africa
Boyd Ferguson was practically born in the bush: The Cape Town-based interior designer of Cécile & Boyd recalls the remote safaris he used to embark on with his father. From this early aesthetic awakening, Boyd has since gone on to redefine what the high-end safari experience looks and feels like. In addition to outfitting the 12-suite Singita Ebony luxury lodge, Boyd has infused homes and boutiques across South Africa with a "real sort of rustic luxury."
Below, our editors channel his refined, rugged look with campaign desks, safari chairs, tribal artifacts, beige accents and African textiles. Keep shopping, or visit Introspective Magazine to see more of Ferguson’s magnificent spaces.
