Renowned Cape Town Furniture Designer shoots at Lionel Smit Studio

Written By Lionel Smit

“Anything worthwhile takes time to build.” This is the mantra of Louw Roets Cape Town’s foremost bespoke furniture designers. Integrity and style lie at the core of his artisan design philosophy. 

Roets' designs are informed by a combination of traditional methods and modern technology. With a formal background in industrial design, Louw embraces the principles of Bauhaus modernism. 

For this dynamic and visionary creator, composition, colour and craftsmanship are the holy trifecta of design. Roets chose the Lionel Smit Studio as an ideal space for a stylish product catalogue shoot.
