African Interiors
TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - 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. Inside Africa captures the beauty and diversity of African living.

"Der TASCHEN-Verlag ist Spezialist in Sachen Bildbände - gleich ob Fashion, Design, Architektur, Portraits, Künstler oder Reisen. Viele Bildbände dieses Hauses zeichnen sich schon durch ihre Größe, immer aber auch durch ihre Qualität aus. So ist Angelika Taschen für African Interiors jahrelang kreuz und quer durch Afrika gereist, durch Stadt und Land, über Berg und Tal, durch Wüste und Dschungel - und fand dabei unglaublich inspirierende Wohnungen und Interiors. Die Bilder zeigen modernes Wohnen, fetzige Ateliers, elegante Lodges, minimalistische Häuser, erstaunlich kreative Wohnungen einfacher Menschen und traditionelle, ganz in der jeweiligen Kultur verwurzelte Heime. Alle immer liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert mit viel Sensibilität, Kreativität, handwerklichem Geschick, Individualität und Sinnlichkeit ... African Interiors erfasst mit diesen Fotos in beeindruckender Weise die Vielfalt und Schönheit des Lebens in afrikanischen Ländern."
