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.

Matthew’s love for Venice and all things Venetian Matthew’s love for Venice and all things Venetian is shown throughout his home, but let’s begin with the library. Books, both new and old on the topics of Venetian art, architecture and history fill his library shelves. Many written by scholars and dear friends who share his passion or have served on the board of @saveveniceinc. Save Venice is an American non-profit that preserves the art and monuments of Venice, Italy. Throughout that great city are important restored works thanks to Save Venice’s team of scholars, supporters and a staff who work together to conserve art and celebrate history. And yes, the beautiful vermeil plaque inset in the book box Matthew designed was created by @nardivenezia  #venice #savevenice #italyofmydreams

To add a touch of drama to a NYC loft, we designed To add a touch of drama to a NYC loft, we designed a folding screen inset with antiqued mirror as a backdrop for a stunning Buddha figure.  Set atop an architectural fragment we repurposed as a console and flanked by gorgeous Klismos chairs, it’s a study in serenity and beautiful forms.  📸 by @artgrayphoto  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #nycloft #foldingscreen #nycinteriors
