Full Description
Through deserts and jungles, islands and mountains, cities and wildlife reserves, this book compiles the most creative, elegant and interesting examples of African interior design. Spanning the length and breadth of this vast and varied continent, the collection reflects the local traditions. Nestled within these pages you'll find lush modern homes mingling with mud huts, funky artists' studios, elegant lodges, minimalist houses, ornate traditional homes, townships and much more - all lovingly built and decorated with sensitivity, creativity, craftsmanship, individuality, and sensuality. From Tunis to Cape Town, Inside Africa captures the beauty and diversity of African living.
Highlights include: Italian sisters Carla and Franka Sozzani's fairy-tale palace in the Medina of Marrakech, shoe designer Christian Louboutin's modest-yet-elegant Cairo home, a lodge in Tanzania whose interior columns are formed by the trees around which it was built, an ultra-modern home in the sprawling hills overlooking Johannesburg, ornately painted Kassena huts on the border between Burkina Faso and Ghana, multi-level terracotta Troglodyte dwellings in Tunisia, opulent mosaics, breathtaking courtyards and rooftop lounges in Marrakech, an opulent Emir's palace in Nigeria with eye-popping colorful details on the cathedral-like ceilings, nomads' Moorish tents in the Sahara, a majestic mansion on a vineyard in South Africa, outdoor bathrooms and showers, terraces to die for, giraffes peeking in windows, thatched roofs...the Africa of your dreams...
