TASCHEN 25 - Special edition!
Special bestseller price
"A remarkable, colossal undertaking - more than simply a visual source book." - House & Garden, London
We've searched far and wide, through Africa's deserts and jungles, cities and wildlife reserves, islands and mountains, to uncover the continent's most inspirational dwellings; our goal was to find the kind of interiors that defy description, and we think the results will definitely leave you speechless. 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. African Interiors captures the beauty and diversity of African living.

"Für African Interiors bereiste Angelika Taschen jahrelang den afrikanischen Kontinent und fand dabei inspirierende Wohnräume und Interieurs. Auf den Seiten dieses Buches finden sich üppige moderne Gebäude neben Lehmhütten, originellen Künstler-Ateliers, eleganten Lodges, minimalistischen Häusern und kunstvollen traditionellen Bauten - alle immer liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert mit viel Sensibilität, Kreativität, handwerklichem Geschick, Individualität und Sinnlichkeit. African Interiors fängt die Schönheit und Vielfalt des afrikanischen Lebens ein."
