TANIS Ibiza – Living room luxe

Pass by their stunning showroom on the road from Ibiza to Santa Gertrudis to be immersed in a melee of fascinating approaches to design that range from tribal to minimal, all within a footstep of each other. Currently the store is awash with clean lines and contemporary cool commonly showcased in Scandinavian homes – after all, everyone’s in search of a little dose of hygge come wintertime. While that particular Danish saying and its relentless use as a buzzword is on the wane, the Scandi aesthetic of crisp, fuss-free design remains strong; its simplicity a key element of its enduring appeal. Moving into the colder months, it’s no surprise we all want to kit our homes out with pieces that are effortlessly livable, while also bringing a unique sense of warmth and style to each space. Head to TANIS Ibiza and you’re inundated with potential options that score highly on all of these points – it’s a veritable wonderland if you’re hoping to transform your home into an au courant abode. Of course, the first space normally on the list for renovation is the living room. At the heart of every home, it’s the place where most time is spent, the space where conversations linger well into the small hours and inhibitions are cast aside. The living room should be an intimate sanctuary that primarily conveys comfort, but which also incorporates sensational design and striking composition, and this is where Tatjana and Nick come in. Always on hand to offer consultation and advice, this dynamic pair are experts when it comes to taking a brief and bringing it to life, while TANIS Ibiza is a demonstration of their artistry, not to mention a constant source of creativity. Inside, the store is a deluxe den of treasures just waiting to be unearthed. From solid marble tables to majestic lamps, and textured throws to designer chairs from the likes of Carl Hansen – each a meticulously crafted centrepiece in its own right. Then there are grandiose, comfortable sofas adorned in either the softest linen or hemp, with covers available in a muted rainbow of colours. These sofas are practical too, because despite appearances, covers can be removed and washed at 40 degrees – perfect if you have little ones (or pets!) running free. Elsewhere you’re bombarded by myriad high-end brands, each showcasing the classic use of high quality materials. Think polished, solid oak sideboards, handcrafted circular tables and woven floor lamps – texture here is equally as important as colour palate. At TANIS Ibiza you can find it all – faultless design, outstanding creative vision and an abundance of bespoke pieces begging to be used in the customisation of any living room. Trust in Tatjana and Nick’s expertise and it won’t be long before a subtle sense of conviviality is rising up through the foundations.

Designing dream homes

Handing over the design reins when you’ve just purchased a brand-new property can be a tough ask – you’ve gone through the painstaking process of finding the perfect home, but now you’re left with a shell on your hands, crying out for embellishment at the hands of a professional. For some, in can be hard to pass the baton of trust when the object in question is so precious, but fortunately there are experts available like interior designers Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer and Nick Lording, owners of stylish concept store, TANIS Ibiza, found on the road from Ibiza to Santa Gertrudis. For this gifted duo, taking complete control of a design project is a common occurrence. Having built a reputation as two of the most dependable, creative designers on island, they’re frequently tasked with transforming properties, taking them from raw potential right through to the category of dream home – as their latest project demonstrates. “Absolutely nothing about the current project we worked on looks the same as when we started,” explains Tatjana.

The taste in question, of course, is much like what’s embodied by the TANIS showroom itself – modern, minimal and rustic, it’s an ode to the objects and style naturally conceived by the pair while travelling the globe. The aesthetic works seamlessly on Ibiza homes – even ones built in the 1970s rather than the 2000s. “We spent a lot of time figuring out how to make changes,” says Nick. “Internally, this project ended up very different – we knocked down walls, changed the entrance, raised the roof beams and tiles, created a fourth bedroom and changed the shape and design of the pool and outdoor terrace. Then we started choosing wall colours and fabrics.” Keen to maintain some of the house’s original charm while adding flourishes of their own, Tatjana and Nick settled on a pure, minimal interior, while still preserving some of the building’s authentic warmth. “The location has a lovely feeling, so the house already felt quite cosy,” explains Nick. “But it still took me 10 days to finally find the right colour for the outside walls!” adds Tatjana.

This is precisely the kind of dedication the couple are renowned for and the reason why they’ve extended their expertise all across the world, working on projects in New York, Canada and various parts of Europe. Now the Ibiza villa project is coming to a close, the couple have the opportunity to reflect on a project that’s been a part of their lives for almost a year. “It all came together so quickly in the end,” reminisces Nick. “It was an intense process but our client trusted us, and whenever we had a design question he knew he would be consulted.” Tatjana continues: “It was a really fun project to work on. By the time the owner moved in, we’d taken care of everything from napkins in the kitchen to soap in the bathroom. When it was finished I had tears in my eyes – it was just so incredible to see.”

From Africa with love

New shipments are arriving every day at this gorgeous interiors showroom and right now it’s all about Africa. That fascinating continent stretching from Egypt and Morocco in the north to South Africa and Zimbabwe in the south is a design lover’s dream whose influence on art, fashion, music and design is unsurpassed. Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró all blended a stylised perception of African art into their own works. Africa influenced the heavyweights of architecture too. Both Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer used West African art as a base for their modernist style. And Africa continues to stream through fashion with all the big names from Gaultier, Saint Laurent and Luis Vuitton featuring African prints and styles in their runways shows. While each African nation possesses its own sense of style, the overriding elements are earth tones, natural fibres and aged woods – all of which exude the warmth of the sun, sand and sea. Perfect for Ibiza homes.

There’s no need to go over the top – as TANIS Ibiza owners and design experts Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer and Nick Lording know, choosing a few key pieces can give any room that African vibe and they can help you find that perfect something for your perfect room. Even if you don’t see what you’re dreaming in store, they’ll source it and make your dreams come to life. One of the star pieces of the summer is a rectangular coffee table repurposed from an ancient African bed. The smooth surface of the dark wood and chunky legs offer an elegant and understated nod to the African style. Pendant lamps hand woven from natural fibres cast a gentle, warming glow fitting well with the white washed walls of Ibiza homes. Hand carved wooden stools make exquisite statements juxtaposed against neutral stoneware table lamps and earth toned upholstery fabrics.

It wouldn’t be Africa without striking splashes of patterned textiles. Touch up neutrals with African inspired geometric print cushions and hand woven storage baskets in various shapes and sizes; from fruit bowls to laundry to planters the range of baskets is vast delivering an Africa tinged decorative storage solution. Larger rooms will enjoy a set of elongated canoe paddle sculptures while the lady of the house will feel footloose in a flowing African inspired kaftan. TANIS Ibiza has fast become the island’s premier interiors, and indeed, outdoor furnishing concept store. The light filled showroom extends beyond Africa, and is artfully curated with design elements from all over the world. Whether you’re popping in for a quick piece to update a room instantly, are seeking a statement piece to fit your villa or are looking for a full interior design services, TANIS Ibiza does it all.

Not just for humans!

There’s a new team member on staff at the gorgeous TANIS Ibiza showroom, set on the road between Ibiza and Santa Gertrudis, easily located thanks to the new bright orange starfish emblazoned on the sign. She’s blonde, she’s gorgeous, she’s friendly and she’s in the showroom waiting to meet you every day – just like her owners and the store founders! Ruby, a cockapoo puppy, joined the TANIS Ibiza family just a couple of weeks ago and is already settling into life as the in-house model, as you can see by our photos. She’s the perfect saleswoman for the stylish range of pet beds available at TANIS Ibiza – you’ll find large, medium and small sizes from Berlin-based designer pet brand Cloud 7, and Ruby can help you try them before you buy them, until you find the one that is j-u-s-t right for your own furry friend.

Cloud 7 dog beds have been carefully designed to integrate with any stylish home environment; in muted colours and neutral tones and with high end finishes and ultra-durable fabrics, they mesh perfectly with the TANIS Ibiza aesthetic. Not to mention the colour palette perfectly complements Ruby’s soft, blonde fur. Of course, TANIS Ibiza goes much further than supplying the perfect bed for your canine companion – that’s simply the icing on the cake. The showroom is receiving new interior and outdoor furnishings, homeware and décor on a weekly basis at this time of year, true to their signature style: timeless, elegant and natural.

Springtime is the perfect time to pass by and pick up some new pieces to update your home in time for the summer entertaining season, be it a few scatter cushions and lanterns for an instant style update, new lighting for indoor or outdoor areas or a more major investment such as a custom-made sofa, new curtains or stylish arm chairs. The more you peruse the store, the more you find – new pieces jump out and catch your eye with each round. If you prefer to leave decorating to the professionals, TANIS Ibiza also offer a complete design service – be it a small space, entre villa or outdoor area. Owners Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer and Nick Lording can apply their creative skills to any space, and work to any brief – which means, if you don’t see what you’re looking for in the showroom, they can source the globe to find it and bring it to Ibiza especially for you.

As a newcomer, Ruby’s interior design skills are yet to be tested, however as a model, influencer and brand ambassador for TANIS Ibiza, she’s already proven to be a very successful addition to the team. Pass by the showroom for an introduction (and obligatory cuddle) – though be warned: you probably won’t leave empty handed*! *Dogs not included with pet beds

Let’s go outside

Over the course of those same three years however, the brand has also been quietly developing a reputation for its expertise when it comes to decorating outdoor spaces, and the collections arriving in store for the 2017 summer season are a reflection of this success. What has changed predominantly in recent years when it comes to furnishing outdoor spaces is the style and quality of fabrics and pieces available. Forget ugly, durable plastics or itchy, hot, rough plastic cushions – today’s styles are sleek and contemporary – not unlike statement furniture that would be seen in a plush modern living room – while textures could easily be mistaken for luxurious linen. At the TANIS Ibiza showroom, found on the road from Ibiza to Santa Gertrudis – and easily spotted by the bright orange starfish on the sign – you’ll find a new range of chic and sophisticated new outdoor wooden seating, made from ultra durable materials complete with plush cushions, designed in single and larger style seating options.

TANIS Ibiza owners, interior designers Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer and Nick Lording, spend their winter seasons scouring the globe for the hippest and hottest new collections – Italy, England, Scandinavia and Belgium are just some of the destinations from which new deliveries are arriving daily. If you’re simply looking to update your outdoor soft furnishings, TANIS Ibiza features an entire wall of outdoor fabrics – though you’ll probably need to ask for help to identify which rolls they are, as they’re so close to the texture and feel of natural linen, very few ‘regular folk’ could tell the difference. Roll upon roll of beautiful natural and neutral hues plus sophisticated striped patterns are waiting to be transformed into waterproof, durable and sun-protected cushions, daybed covers, curtains and more. Outdoor lighting too, is another specialty of TANIS Ibiza, who are exclusive stockists of the highly-sought after, oversized, all-weather wicker light shades – as seen in some of the world’s most exclusive beach clubs, including Scorpios in Mykonos, and luxury villas in Ibiza. Moroccan floor lamps are also available, in a range of sizes and shapes ready to perfectly illuminate your garden path or terrace area, along with gorgeous glass candleholders to make the perfect outdoor table setting on a balmy summer night.

For those Ibiza villa owners looking for more than just a new chair or light fixture for their property, TANIS Ibiza also offer a full exterior design service, from concept to completion. Be it an outdoor living room, alfresco dining space or luxurious terrace lounge you seek, the creative couple work to your brief to develop a new look that is completely suited to your style. And as always, TANIS Ibiza are experts when it comes to breathing new life into interiors. In fact, why not just give them the keys to your property for an entire indoor and outdoor overhaul before summer? Don’t see what you want on the TANIS showroom? Don’t give up – the options are endless. Tatjana and Nick are on hand to answer your questions and source the pieces you’ve been dreaming of to kit out your Ibiza home.

The finishing touch

With the arrival of the 2016 summer season comes the arrival of a steady stream of new collections at TANIS Ibiza, the beautiful Ibiza interior design showroom set just off the main road from Ibiza to Santa Gertrudis (turn left when you spot a bright orange starfish on the road sign). One such collection is this stunning set of artisanal crockery, which came all the way to Ibiza from Belgium only to meet its maker. Not in that sense – it was a more literal interpretation. “Funnily enough,” explains TANIS Ibiza owner and interior designer Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer when asked about the beautiful tableware. “The other day the artist who made it came into the shop with another regular client of ours and couldn’t believe we had her crockery!” It just goes to show that like attracts like, style attracts style.

Of course, beautiful tableware such as this – includeing dinner plates, side plates, bowls, cups and more in earthy muted colours, cornflower blues and slate grey, in keeping with the TANIS Ibiza aesthetic – is the finishing touch. While the shelves are indeed stocked with glossy china and many other decorative pieces available off the rack (so to speak in style terms), the TANIS Ibiza service goes beyond pure decoration. Alongside partner Nick Lording, Tatjana offers a complete interior (and exterior) design service, from the very first sketch, mood board or swatch of fabric, right through to the carpets being laid, the curtains being hung and the tables being set. And beyond, as they’re also always available for future consultations as summer turns to winter.

Whether an existing home that needs a new lease of life, a new villa build that wants an expert overseeing the design and decoration or just a small space, such as a swimming pool deck area, a bedroom suite or living room, TANIS Ibiza are the on-island experts when it comes to stylish and sophisticated interior design. Restaurants and hotels too, can benefit from the TANIS Ibiza service – from refitting a beach club project with new soft furnishings to outfitting a boutique hotel, no project is too big or too small, with fast turnarounds made possible thanks to their industry contacts, and the experience of their in-house team. Anything and everything can be sourced to suit your taste – from the biggest sofas right down to the prettiest little pieces of crockery!
