Remember the Bow Bins by Cordula Kehrer, whose natural reeds were seamlessly woven into colorful plastic? Well, we'd put this grass ottoman in the same category of indigenous crafts reinterpreted in a modern context.

The ottoman, available through Terrain, is hand-woven by women basketry artists in South Africa from bunches mountain grasses coiled together with heavy-duty white and blue plastic (the same plastic you'd find in an average construction tarp).

Above: The Woven Grass Ottoman measures 17.7 inches high and 23.6 inches in diameter for $498 from Terrain.

Above: With a hollow construction, the plastic threads keep the grasses firmly intact and the few carefully placed bright blue stripes offset the otherwise neutral color palette.

Located in the Western Cape province of South Africa, in the Swartland village of Koringberg, conservation architect Minky Lidchi's weekend retreat is a period villa reworked for modern living.

During an extensive renovation, Lidchi discovered that the villa's walls (which appear to be brick) were in fact made of leiklip, or broken slate. Lidchi had her builders lightly plaster over the walls, highlighting the texture, and paint both interiors and exteriors white. The result is a house that stays cool in the hot months and features an open plan, indoor outdoor flow ("If you don’t give old buildings new life, nobody wants to live in them," Lidchi says).

When she's not in residence, Lidchi rents out The White House; for rental information, go to Paradizo.

A while back we featured the Paris kitchen of trend forecasting pioneer Li Edelkoort. The Dutch native's home remains a favorite, with its mix of well-crafted pieces (a Hella Jongerius vase here, an African stool there).

Edelkoort is drawn to wooden Senufo stools, made by the Senufo people scattered across the Ivory Coast, Mali and Burkina Faso, which are carved from a single piece of wood and add a rustic, earthy note to modern spaces. For sources, see below.

Whatever happened to camp-style chairs with an appealing design? I remember packing for family camping trips with a pair of 60s-era camp chairs in tow—they were just as comfortable, functional, and durable as the modern plastic-coated options. No, they didn't feature a removable headrest or multiple drink holders, but if you ask me, I'd rather spare those luxuries for a chair with quality design.

For those who share similar sentiments, here are 10 camp-style folding chairs—in canvas, wood, aluminum, and steel.

One site, two existing structures; a house built in the 1920s and a barn dating to the 18th century. Which would you choose to become the focus of your new home? We’re guessing the barn.

In their adaptive reuse of an 18th century barn structure in the Franschhoek Valley in the Cape Winelands, South Africa, Van Der Merwe Miszewski Architects transformed the centrally located barn into the heart of this home, a sprawling complex of living accommodations, by bringing the living, dining, and cooking spaces all under one great space. Two verandas, which run the length of the barn on both sides, extend the centralized living into the landscape beyond, skillfully weaving the barn back into its surrounding farm and vineyards and reclaiming it for 21st century living.

Above: The veranda at the front of the house extends the house straight out into the landscape.

Above: The open veranda at the rear of the house is articulated with a trellis, whose beams extend the lines from the barn's original timber beams.

Above: The open veranda in the rear leads to the swimming pool.

Above: The vines will eventually cover the trellis on the open veranda in the rear.

Above: The site plan illustrates how the sprawling home is embedded in the landscape with the 18th century barn as the anchor for the two additional wings.

Evocative and functional at the same time, the barn structure is a classic. See 137 more images of Barns in our Gallery of rooms and spaces to find your favorite.

A serendipitous Peace Corps posting more than a decade ago is how Kansas native Julie Wagne met her future husband Ibrahima Wagne. The couple became acquainted when Julie was training in Nouakchott Mauritania, where Ibrahima was teaching biology. When she was sent to Boghe for her teaching service (where Ibrahima had grown up), their friendship developed, with his family taking her under their wing. Dating proved no mean feat, given that it took an eight-hour bush taxi ride through the Saharan desert just to meet.

The couple, who now reside in San Francisco, had been thinking of ways in which they could help the Fulani, Ibrahima's tribe from West Africa. The Fulani are noted for their unique, handmade textiles, but with the young no longer learning how to weave, the tradition is slowly dying out. The Wagnes decided to reinvigorate the craft by exporting the textiles outside of West Africa, and so Petel, which means “little spark,” was born. To see more, go to Petel.

Partnering with indigenous crafters throughout the African Continental, Design Afrika bridges the gap between local tradition and the wider world of design.

Founder Binky Newman creates Design Afrika's dramatically proportioned baskets, which are inspired by the over-sized vessels of South African potter Louise Gelderblom. The designs are then rendered in wire by Zimbabwean artisan Professor Pedro in Cape Town and transferred to a village near Coffee Bay, incurring their signature dings and dents along the way. Xhosa women then weave around the frames, dents and all, to create these truly organic, one-of a kind pieces.

Above: Hailing from many regions and traditions, Design Afrika baskets come in numerous shapes and sizes, from these impressive Xhosa gourds to smaller bowls and other vessels. Design Afrika also supplies other African hand woven goods and textiles. You can read more about Design Afrika's partners here.

Above: Pictured with Batongo stools from Zambia, the small Xhosa gourd basket is available at Sundance; $225. Contact Binky at Design Afrika for wholesale information on larger pieces.

Above: As part of an effort to provide a sustainable income to indigenous people and preserve their local traditions, all Design Afrika baskets are handmade by traditional artisans from all over Africa. Here a woman from Zimbabwe shows off a large Bulawayo basket.

Above: The "wonky" shapes of Bulawayo baskets only add to their charm.

Above: Two other favorites: a Xhosa long neck basket and Buhera bowl.

Above: Binky Newman stands with some of her partners from South Africa's Masizame Women's Project, who weave her designs from dried river reeds.

If carpets could fly, we'd like to think that they would look like Oyyo’s recently launched collection of six cotton dhurries, which are Swedish by design, Indian by make, and nomadic by feel. If you could take one for a spin, where would you go?

True confession: I camp. I found "roughing it" charming when I was dating my husband, and terrifying once we were married. I had not realized that camping on a beach in Baja with no one around was actually a way of life for him, not a romantic gesture. So over the years, with children in tow, we've learned to compromise: my urban cultural destinations are mixed with his trips to the remote wilderness. It's proved a healthy mix. While I curate our urban forays, David handles our camping excursions.

If it were left to me (the camping part), this is where we'd go next: the Explore Mobile Tented Camp, which is operated by Singita, an "environmentally conscious hospitality" group that operates 12 lodges and camps in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania. The company's Mobile Tented Camps, with their mix of utilitarian design and luxe, hit the mark, offering all the benefits of camping and being outdoors with well-designed and luxuriously appointed interiors. The design is the work of interior designer and former editor of Elle Decoration SA Tracy Lee Lynch, who collaborated with South African designers Cécile & Boyd's to come up with this mobile tented camp in the Serengeti. For more information, go to Singita.

Irish jewelry designer Penny Winter recently restored a villa in the heart of Lamu Old Town to its former glory and now rents it out to travelers seeking an out-of-the-ordinary African experience.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001, Lamu Old Town is regarded as one of the oldest and best preserved Swahili settlements in East Africa. "There are no roads or cars on the island," Penny says. "Residents and visitors alike move about on foot or by boat. Donkeys are mainly used to transport goods and materials. Working with Kenya-based architects Urko Sanchez, Winter removed a couple of floors to create a courtyard with a plunge pool, add a sense of openness and lightness to the interiors. All four floors of the house open out onto the courtyard, and the upper floors have views of the ocean.

For rental information, go to Amber House Lamu.

Above: Built of mangrove timber and coral stone with elaborately carved wooden doors, Amber House is a reflection of contemporary Swahili style.

Above: Rooms are furnished with vintage campaign style furniture.

Above: Carved wooden screens act as privacy partitions.

We've admired cement tiles in the past (from Popham and Granada Tile, for instance), but we're especially taken with the newly expanded Promenade line of cement tiles from Waterworks. According to Barbara Sallick of Waterworks, "The tiles are made from a combination of natural materials such as crushed limestone, aggregate, sand, and water. Each batch requires the skill of as many as 27 artisans, who press the tile, submerge it in water, layer on the mineral pigment with metal mods, and set it out to air dry for up to three weeks." 

To see the full line, go to Waterworks. 

Above: Promenade Field Tile is available in 18 matte colors (five terrazzo/aggregate and 13 solids) and multiple sizes. An 8-by-8-Inch Promenade Field Tile is $12.40 per piece.

Above: New to the line up is the Promenade Decorative Nan Tile offered in an 8-by-8-inch size that is customizable using the Waterworks color palette. Shown in salt and black matte; $15.80 per piece.

Above: Another new item is the 8-by-8 Promenade Hex Tile available in the full range of color options (shown in rust matte solid); $14.35 per piece.

Above: I also like the Promenade Decorative Dash Tile available in all of Waterwork's matte finishes (shown in navy and heron); $15.80 per piece.

We also love Popham Design Cement Tiles.

Refreshingly vibrant and bright, the textiles from Design Team are based on stories inspired by daily life in South Africa's Pretoria.  Textile designers Amanda Haupt and Lise Butler founded their studio in 2002, creating contemporary, topical designs, "influenced and inspired by the colors, nature, people, and ever-changing social dynamics of our country."

Last winter, when set decorator and interior stylist Kate Dougherty began decorating the Suno offices, her mandate was to warm up the drab midtown space. "It was super corporate, with white walls and metal framing," she said. Dougherty took her inspiration from the African influences behind the line, adding color and patterning to create the look of a "traveler or explorer's den," as she says.

Created in 2008 by designer Max Osterweis in collaboration with Erin Beatty, Suno is a womanswear brand inspired by Kenya, Osterweis' second home. Dougherty, a self-described vagabond, rummages near and far to find the elements for her memorable spaces (projects include set designs for Wes Anderson and interiors for some of New York's hottest restaurants). The project was a natural fit for Dougherty, one that resulted in a characterful interior featuring Congolese fabrics, vintage American finds, and custom European pieces; a space where Suno's team can create and collaborate. "I wanted to inspire the whole staff, from marketing to production."

Above: For the showroom sitting area, Dougherty mixed a West Elm sofa with an artisan butterfly chair made by Buenos Aires-based Lifestyle by Cara.

Above: Clothes are displayed on simple metal racks. Suno founder Max Osterweis commissioned a local graffiti artist to create the mural on the wall.

Above: Dougherty made a handmade shelf with rope and pieces of reclaimed barn wood that was leftover from lining the windows. On each shelf are collected vintage items; the Polaroid photo is of Osterweis' mother, named Suno, taken during the 1960s in Peru.

Above: The book ends are made of railroad ties sourced from upstate New York; the small frames are antique West African playing cards.

Above: A hanging oversized pendant from Barn Light Electric illuminates the design room.

Above: To add interest to simple Ikea cabinets, Dougherty washed the front in Annie Sloane's chalk paint in Old White and replaced the metal hardware with DIY leather pulls.

No stylish bookshelf is complete without a skinny copy of Pop'Africana, a magazine with just two print editions aiming to re-educate the globe on the aesthetics of Africa.

Pop'Africana's second issue addresses everything from the diaspora in Harlem (via an interview on cuisine with chef Marcus Samuelsson), modern African fiction (with 2010 Caine Prize-winning author Olufemi Terry), and the thriving design scene from Lagos to Cape Town. Along with a team of creatives, the magazine is produced by editor-in-chief and all around cool girl Oroma Elewa, whose grew up in Nigeria and works as a stylist/editor/photographer, making her the perfect candidate to carry out the magazine's claim of "re-introducing, re-defining, and re-inspiring all aspects of the arte Africano."

Above: Year 1, Issue 2 of Pop'Africana can be found in store for $25 at Maryam Nassir Zadeh, but the magazine is shifting to an online format, which you can find soon at Pop'Africana.

We first discovered Tammy Frazer's Parfums, a small perfume house based in Cape Town, via Heidi Swanson's online pop-up shop Quitokeeto. "I love everything about what Tammy does and how she goes about it. Small batch, all natural, sustainably sourced ingredients." Frazer draws on her native South Africa to create her perfumes, working with natural and organic raw materials, sourced directly from local farmers.

We asked Tammy to share with us some of her favorite places to visit in her native country.

Cathy O'Clery is a journalist (she's a veteran of the World of Interiors and Elle Decoration) and designer who lived in South Africa for 12 years; she is currently based in Ireland but continues to spend a lot of time in South Africa. With a former colleague, Taryn Lamberti, O'Clery recently launched Bead Design Studio, a small company specializing in hand-beaded and hand-dyed cushions with a contemporary African look.

The bespoke cushions are made in Johannesburg; "at the moment, we mostly supply interior designers working on hotels and game lodges, but we are working on our fourth reorder for the Conran Shop," O'Clery says. "The pillows range in price from $140 to $570, depending on size but more importantly on the amount of intricate beadwork and man hours involved in each one and on the rarity of the beads." For more information, go to Bead Design Studio.
