\"opulent-living-concept-store-interior-with-lamps\"Opulent Living and its owners Barbara Lenhard and Florian Gast have established themselves as creative and dedicated in everything they touch, be it their former Opulent Living<\/strong> print magazine, or the annual ‘Chefs who Share – the ART of Giving’ charity Gala Dinner, which they have organised for the past four years. Now they have opened the colourful Opulent Living Concept Store & Gallery on trendy Kloof Street. <\/p>\n

In less than a month after signing the lease, Opulent Living engaged bold interior designer Sarah Ord, co-owner of The Stack, to transform the double story interior in a strong emerald green with sapphire blue touches, including big and bold lampshades hanging\"opulent-living-concept-store-barbara-lenhard\" over one of the tables. Floors have been painted in a black and white check pattern. The work was completed in time for the opening earlier this week. <\/p>\n

The art connections which Barbara and Florian have developed over the past four years through the Chefs who Share charity auction<\/span><\/a><\/strong> have stood them in good stead, in forming the foundation of their Concept Store. The store sells the following:<\/p>\n

#.  \"opulent-living-concept-store-jimmy-law\"Paintings by Richard Scott, Jimmy Law (left), and Michaela Rinaldi<\/p>\n

#.  Sculptures by Marieke Prinsloo and Jean Doyle<\/p>\n

#   Prints by German wildlife art photographer Klaus Tiedge.<\/p>\n

#   Luxury ostrich leather handbags by Mvari, as well as the Italian Save My Bag range<\/p>\n

#   Handmade and embroidered Taunina Bears <\/p>\n

#   Designer menswear from British fashion label Grays London<\/p>\n

#   A bespoke range of Opulent Living lifestyle products \"opulent-living-concept-store-leather-bag-cupboard\"<\/p>\n

#   A range of jewellery made from the original fence from Robben Island prison, as well as handcrafted contemporary design jewellery by ANPA.<\/p>\n

Barbara Lenhard owned a store in Germany before moving to Cape Town seven years ago. She said that her new store will showcase art, destinations, and products sourced mainly from the African continent: ‘This new store brings the key ingredients in our brand together in one beautiful, opulent space that celebrates the best of lifestyle, art and travel – simply the finer things in life<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

Opulent Living will be running its businesses from the new address, including Opulent Living Travel, Opulent Living Cruises, and Opulent Living Experiences.<\/p>\n
