White Webb

Africa Anyone?

Design Log

26 Sep

As I mentioned in the Spring 2011 edition of World White Webb, one of my side projects is to serve as a creative consultant for a fascinating website, called Africa.com. In addition to being the go-to destination for all things African, it disseminates weekly newsletters recapping the world’s must-read stories about Africa. In the early days, these communiqués focused on breaking news items and business & finance reporting.

Thanks to overwhelming demand (and a little assist from me), Africa.com recently launched a companion newsletter covering the fields of travel and arts & culture. Ever thought about gorilla trekking in Rwanda? Curious about the most coveted, limited edition furniture and design collectibles from South Africa? Did you miss the hottest African fashions from the recent New York Fashion Week? If you’re looking to broaden your cultural horizons or travel wish list, I promise you some exciting, entertaining and informative reads. To sign up and receive the weekly newsletter, click here.

When my mom gave me a copy of BILLY BALDWIN DECORA When my mom gave me a copy of BILLY BALDWIN DECORATES in the 1970s I consumed it as if I was starved for style. And in Amarillo, Texas, I pretty much was. I still think it’s the best American interior design book ever written. I read it as a teenager from cover to cover more times than I could count, and drank in the images, memorizing every detail. More than twenty-five years ago I saw these 19th century Venetian monkeys in a Christie’s catalog and recognized them at once. I was a determined bidder. They link Billy Baldwin’s profound impact on my personal style and my love of Venice and all things Venetian. When I pulled my falling-apart copy of BBD from my library shelf a letter fell out, it was a thank you note from Billy Baldwin to a gentleman who lived on East 63rd. I’d forgotten I had this charming note, and don’t now recall where I got it. Needless to say I have long been obsessed with Mr. Baldwin, and sharing his delightful monkeys with you brings back many lovely memories. MW
