Reconfigured African designs come off as cool and contemporary at once, melding one part ethnic with four parts modern. The look’s exotic landscape owes plenty to a rich, harmonious blend of natural materials and reclaimed woods, all formed to the beat of an organic, spare vision. Tribal motifs stir in spice, simmering with the heat of wild and untamed creativity. |
Rustic and contemporary converge in the Swerve handmade lanterns and votives from Tag with a brushed, antique bronze powder-coated finish ($17 to $48). |
| Leopard print bowls in rich brown and gold glass prove just as sophisticated as exotic with sleek detailing and glossy finish from Firefly Home Collection ($65 to $140). |  |

The Pebble Creek pillow is handcrafted from nylon fibers and woven into an organic base fabric of cotton and water hyacinth from Siwthaisilk ($170). |

Many talk about African inspired design, yet I haven't seen any products that go beyond animal prints or a motif. The influence of global design is more than that. See SoHeDesignGroup.com and check out how they are doing it.
