After growing up in the Kalahari desert, where he spent hours building castles out of sand, Jacu headed for London aged 18. After working in a bank (to keep himself afloat), and studying architecture, he found work with Tom Dixon. He then embarked on the interiors of Sea Containers house, which brought him to the attention of Lore Group hotels – a career-changing moment which has allowed him total creative freedom in his new ventures. Tune in for more.
