African aesthetics




AT THE SAXON HOTEL IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA,
THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR STYLE
JUST LOOK AT THE AMAZING WAY TO DISPLAY AFRICAN BASKETS
GET A FULL TOUR AND FEEL INSPIRED AT THEIR
WEB SIGHT




I LOVE PETER BEARDS ART, IT'S DISPLAYING AFRICA IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY
IT TELL US ABOUT THE OLD AND THE NEW AFRICA IN A SERIOUS
AND PLAYFUL WAY ALL MIXED TOGETHER




ZIBIDIE IS THE NAME OF THIS PATTERN DESIGNED BY TOM HEDQUIST
ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF SWEDISH 10-GRUPPEN
IN THIS CONTEXT I GET AFRICAN VIBES FROM IT
IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET IT BOTH IN OILCLOTH AND 100%COTTON



LAMPSHADES MADE OSTRICH FEATHERS, PORCUPINE AND AFRICAN WILD GOOS
SOUTH AFRICAN DESIGN FROM KAMELO




MORE PETER BEARD... THIS IS A BOOK WITH TALES TOLD TO HIS DAUGHTER ZARA
AT HOG RANCH IN KENYA ABOUT LIFE, LIVING AND ABOUT AFRICA
AND OFF COURSE BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH HIS ART
(I'VE JUST ORDERED THIS FROM AMAZON AND ARE WAITING IMPATIENTLY
APPARENTLY THERE ARE ONLY 4 LEFT IN STOCK)



AFRICAN POT FROM SWAHILI



PIET HEIN EEK ARE DUTCH BUT I STILL GET AN AFRICAN VIBE FROM THIS COLLECTION
