Product Description

Review

"A must-have for the style-hungry." -- Harper's Bazaar, October, 2000

"a beautifully illustrated book which shows how caringly-created interiors that blend with their environment enrich life experiences. ' -- RICHARD ESTES, Author of SAFARI COMPANION

"spectacular photos, provocative stories and exciting personalities ... instill in us a desire to design at home our own 'safari chic'." -- ALEXANDRA STODDARD, Aurhor/Designer of CREATING A BEAUTIFUL HOME

Book Description

One of the most breathtaking realms of the world becomes an inspiration for design in this visual survey of the many bold styles of the African safari camp. The seduction of mossquito netting undulating in the wind; the romance of rich Oriental rugs on a lush savanna; the clasic civility of silver antiques; and the romance of a wardrobe trunk packed with lace are some of the defining elements of safari style. Among the many locations that appear for the first time in pring are Hemingway's "Casa Matata", the traditional Finch-Hatton camp of luxury and romance and Africa's most exclusive camps: Abu's Elehant Back Safari Camp in Botswana and the 1920's Cottar Camp in Kenya.

Besides being a dream album for travelers, interior design photographs present creative solutions for the home that can be achieved with domestic mercnadise and ethnic crafts no matter how far you live from the majestic plains of Africa. Radiant photographs so powerfully evoke this continent that one can alomost hear the grass russeling and feel the heat of the amber sun.

This review is from: Safari Chic: Wild Exteriors and Polished Interiors of Africa (Hardcover)
Libraries with strong sections on ethnic or modern architecture will want to include Bibi Jordan's Safari Chic as a unique presentation of over a hundred photos of exotic exteriors and interiors. African bush style goes modern in homes which profile decorating choices achieved through ethnic crafts and fabrics. The color photos are lavish and display many options and styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Safari Chic is Chic, Dec 20 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Safari Chic: Wild Exteriors and Polished Interiors of Africa (Hardcover)
Bibi Jordan has managed to capture the true spirit of adventure in her new book Safari Chic. Not only do the wild exteriors and the mannered interiors inspire one to redecorate their physical surroundings but they resonate with the kindling spirit of rejuvenation and imagination. This is a traveler's delight as well. More books Bibi, more!
