Hope you've had a great holiday season so far. I thought I'd take these few days before 2012, to put together a recap of some favourite Afri-love posts (yours and mine) from the past year. Today – it's all about design.
From top: Coastal house in Kenya; House in Lamu; Celebrating design for Mozambique Independence Day (furniture from Studio Dandoen); The Polychromatic Afropolitan (beddings from Anthropologie and table mat by Aphrochic); Ebony-inspired Afropolitan Style (wall hanging from Ten Thousand Villages and Oryx horn Mpingo jars from Swahili Imports); Malene B & Interiors inspired by Africa; furniture by Yinka Ilori (see interview with the designer).
From top: Gypset dresses; Mikuti accessories (interview with Erika of Mikuti); Adele Dejak accessories; Wax print Etsy finds; Sika Designs coats & jackets; Naana B dresses (also see interview with Naana B); Lola Faturoti clothing; Stoned Cherrie clothing (celebrating South Africa's Freedom Day).

African designs shaped with the modern stylish concept is really a marvel in design. DwellStudio makes a nice set of concepts for these.
