About My Place in Cape Town
Founded in 2013 by Susanne Brodnik, who blends Austrian and South African heritage. My Place in Cape Town fuses European sophistication with the African soul. Rooted in context, history, and craftsmanship, our design philosophy honors tradition while embracing a bold, modern edge.
While we champion local artisans and African design, our vision is globally inspired. We create interiors that balance regional authenticity with international refinement—layered, timeless, and effortlessly cosmopolitan.
Su Brodnik
Su Brodnik, founder of My Place in Cape Town, infuses every project with her Austrian-South African heritage and a dynamic background in design, art, and real estate. Her approach transcends traditional interior architecture—she creates spaces that feel good, enhance well-being, and tell a story.
With a keen eye for materials, color, and form, Su seamlessly balances past and present, tradition and innovation. Rooted in a deep respect for history yet unafraid to challenge conventions, her work is defined by depth, character, and a bold, unmistakable identity.
