The African Decor Edit Collecting and Decorating with Heritage Objects

The African Decor Edit: Collecting and Decorating with Heart by Nasozi Kakembo is a vibrant, personal guide to building a home filled with African art, textiles, and design objects. Kakembo — founder of the influential platform Afrique en Miniature — shares her philosophy of collecting with intention, tracing the sources, stories, and artisans behind the pieces she loves. The book moves through different rooms and aesthetics, showing how African design objects can anchor and elevate any interior, whether minimalist or maximalist. With stunning photography and warm, knowledgeable writing, Kakembo demystifies the world of African decorative arts for new collectors while inspiring seasoned ones. This is not simply a style guide — it is an argument for the global importance of African design traditions and a practical resource for anyone who wants their home to tell a richer, more meaningful story.
