“An essential and original contribution to understanding the work of African artisans”

Elle Decor

"The definitive book for collecting and decorating with ethically sourced African wares." (Essence)

Travel with Ugandan American designer Nasozi Kakembo as she explores iconic home goods—from Malian mudcloth to Moroccan rugs—at the source and offers thoughtful guidance on collecting and decorating with traditional African treasures.

Through xN Studio, her interior design and product design practice, Nasozi collaborates with artisans throughout Africa, and hers is the rare design book that delves into the origin and meaning behind the furnishings and accessories shown. Each chapter presents artisans in their home countries, telling their stories in their own words.

The book also demonstrates the beauty of African decor, with a collection of inspiring, layered interiors from all over the world. The African Decor Edit is a must-have for all who admire African wares and wish to decorate with them in a thoughtful and ethical way.

The African Decor Edit is not only a gorgeous coffee table book, ready to display and gift. Thanks to author Nasozi Kakembo's deep knowledge of ethically sourced and aesthetically elevated heritage wares, it's a must-have volume for any collector of African home goods.
