Contemporary Design Africa

Gorgeously produced book; lovely photos, interesting text. I am very familiar with much traditional African artwork, crafts, homeware etc, but this book showcases some really wonderful modern design which uses / borrows from traditional design. The only thing I would say is that certain countries seem to dominate the book - e.g. there are no less than 12 South African designers or collaborations featured, but only one Moroccan/German design team - yet Morocco seems to be bursting with amazing contemporary designers. Lots of other African countries don't feature at all; is this because their innovative designers haven't managed to get themselves spotted by westerners? I find it hard to believe it's because there aren't any in those countries.

Fantastic book. Finally I can have something about the African design. The book is also interesting as it shows the history and materials behind the design.

It's a wonderful book with beautiful pictures showing the wealth of contemporary African art & design . It's a must have for anyone interested in African design although this edition seems a bit outdated.

Great contemporary African decor ideas. A very well laid out book.

Beautiful & inspiring contemporary designs. African craftwork is second to none.
