In November and December, 2000 we exhibited selections of our collection of fine African sculpture, masks, textiles and furniture as we celebrate the publication of the new book African Style: Down to the Details by Philadelphia designer, stylist and writer Sharne Algottson. Following on the success of her first book, Spirit of African Design written with Denys Davis, Sharne now offers a gorgeous, hands-on guide to decorating any home with the richness of Africa. "Today more and more of us are striving to bring personal meaning and beauty into our lives and homes. African style is the perfect way to express that joy in living, whether your look is formal, traditional, minimal, casual country, or eclectic."
If you weren't able to join us and Sharne Algotsson on First Friday, November 3rd, 2000 for the Philadelphia book-signing, you can still order either book directly from us, too (just phone or e-mail us). Signed copies of both books may still be available.
