guy Valentine
Guy Valentine lives in London, works internationally and calls Cape Town home. He is a master craftsman who works with natural materials (clay, lime and tadelakt). For him they are not simply construction or decorative materials but a means of creating inspiring and tactile spaces that invite connection and ease. Guy loves creating considered and ambient architectural finishes. For 20 years, in projects around the world, Guy’s artistry has produced surfaces that lend many unique interiors their intangible essence and heart.
