The main living area of Thomas and Tarryn Chapman’s
home in Johannesburg is a harmonious blend of horizontal
planes and volume, featuring striking Mid-Century Modern
pieces that have been collected by the couple over the years.
Contrasting materials such as wood, chrome, marble and
glass are accentuated by a colourful yet restrained palette –
as seen in the Colour Field painting by Thomas’ uncle Anton
Chapman, and the yellow modular couch designed by Tarryn.
