Happy New Year all! We are back from our little Christmas break and ready for an amazing 2020.<br />
<br />
I must say to watch the tragedy of the bushfires unfold the past couple of weeks has been absolutely heart wrenching; the magnitude of this natural disaster will be felt for many years to come. The loss of life, the loss of homes full of cherished family memories, the loss of farmland and livelihoods, the loss of small towns and the loss of our wildlife and its beautiful habitat. It is just so sad. To all those incredibly brave volunteer firefighters, we salute you!<br />

The Herero of Namibia are the Victorian fashionistas of Southern Africa.<br />
<br />
Beautiful, unique and distinctive Herero women's traditional attire is inspired by the Victorian era dress; colourful fabric in either a solid colour or patch worked from several dresses, worn over several petticoats and crinoline and finished with a headdress created from rolled fabric shaped like cow horns. Whilst Herero men adopted their own traditional finery, fashioned from the German military uniform from their warrior and colonial past.<br />
<br />
<i>"War broke out between German colonizers and the local tribes in 1904. The Herero tribe was devastated, having lost almost eighty percent of its population. Garments became an important expression of identity during these fragile times. Upon killing a German soldier, a Herero warrior would remove the uniform and adopt it to his personal dress as a symbol of his prowess in battle. Paradoxically, as with the Victorian dresses, the wearing of German uniforms became a tradition that is continued to this day by Namibian men who honour their warrior ancestors during ceremonies, festivals and funerals."</i><br />
<br />
Photographer Jim Naughten captured these stunning images of the Herero back in 2012 [see our earlier <a href="https://safarifusion.blogspot.com/2012/07/victorian-style-in-namibia.html" target="_blank">blog post</a>] and now the entire series of his Herero works are published in the books 'Haute Africa' and 'Conflict and Costume'.<br />

All of these beautiful South African homes have one thing in common, the use of bright and bold colour.<br />
<br />
Through art selection, rugs, statement furniture, textiles and feature walls; bold primary colours of red, blue, yellow and secondary colours of green, orange and purple bring each of these spaces to life and reflect the unique personality of its home owner.<br />
<br />
A great way to experiment with bold colours is to start with inexpensive purchases that you can change seasonally such as colourful tactile cushions and <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/objects-vases" target="_blank">eclectic objects</a>. Take it a step further and paint a feature wall or multiple walls in a deep hue to create depth and to highlight artwork. To the fully committed colourist, invest in statement furniture such as a sofa, an occasional chair or a rug and take your colour-filled surrounds to the next level.<br />

Nothing says Africa more than its incredible wildlife and what better way to bring a piece of Africa into your home decorating then with a contemporary style African Animal Head.<br />
<br />
Handcrafted from wire, timber, recycled cardboard, paper mache, beads and even leather; designs include Antelopes and Bovines such as <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/safari-trophy-heads/products/kudu-head-leather" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kudu Head (leather) by Safari Fusion">Kudu</a>, Gemsbok [Oryx], <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/safari-trophy-heads/products/impala-head?variant=10418171707449" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Impala Head by Safari Fusion">Impala</a>, <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/safari-trophy-heads/products/nguni-wire-head-black" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nguni Wire Head (black) by Safari Fusion">Nguni</a> and Buffalo plus unique beauties such as the sisal grass Lion pictured below, Giraffe and Zebra.<br />
<br />
A great alternative to picture art, a safari trophy head is a three-dimensional wall art piece that can be displayed singularly, in a grouping or as part of a mixed media style gallery wall.<br />

<br />
We have reached a milestone with 2019 marking 10 years since founding Safari Fusion.<br />
<br />
Who knew my very first trip in 1993 flying into Lagos, Nigeria and travelling for 6 months through the continent would ultimately change the course of my life. Raw, wild, challenging and at the same time colourful, creative and enthralling Africa spoke to me in a way I never could imagine. Africa will always be my home away from home and a source of inspiration for me.<br />
<br />
To celebrate this milestone we are offering our Safari Fusion friends <b>25% off our entire collection until Sunday 30th June 2019. </b>Check your inbox for the Discount Code.<br />
<br />
If you are not a member of our Mailing List, register by visiting our website <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/" target="_blank">home page</a> and we will send it to you.<br />

An unassuming, semi-detached heritage home in Cape Town's creative hub of Woodstock is an outstanding example of how living small does not mean forgoing a stylish and functional interior.<br />
<br />
The 110 year old home's internal space measures just 116m², and with no changes permitted to the facade and roof it meant working within the existing footprint. Concessions were made for the installation of two roof windows to capture views of Table Mountain whilst the home's original brick and timber were exposed and hardwood floors restored.<br />
<br />
The use of dark colours, black, charcoal and grey help zone the spaces and also create an airy feel to the open-plan living and dining area. Whilst textured furnishings including leather, timber, steel and crochet plus selective statement craft / art pieces, help create an interesting juxtaposition of modern and heritage.<br />

These colourful Kenyan bicycle taxis called boda-boda, sure inspire you to jump on your bike and get peddling!<br />
<br />
Part of East African culture, boda-boda taxis are an economical form of transportation that started back in the 1960s and 70s as a means of transporting people across no-man's land at the Kenyan / Ugandan border without vehicle paperwork. The bicycle owners would shout out <i>boda-boda</i> [border-to-border] to potential customers.<br />

Vibrant and bold geometric designed wax print fabric can be found throughout Africa. Produced in limited runs, the fabric is traditionally used as wraps and by clothing<br />
tailors.<br />
<br />
Its origins date back to the 1800s when Dutch merchants inspired by the techniques of Indonesia's batik textile craftsmen, decided to create their own less labor intensive wax print fabric using machines. Printing the design with wax onto lengths of cotton fabric, dying, removing part of the wax, drying then repeating the process several times to achieve a beautiful colourful cloth.<br />
<br />
Today this distinctive fabric is produced in both Europe and West Africa, and can been seen on catwalks and in <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/cushions" target="_blank">soft furnishings</a> of eclectic, <a href="https://safarifusion.blogspot.com/2019/02/modern-bohemian.html" target="_blank">modern bohemian</a> interiors.<br />

I have been a long-time admirer of the amazing Yoruba bead chair from Nigeria [West Africa].<br />
<br />
Eclectic and colourful each arm chair takes master craftsmen months to create, using century-old Yoruba tribe seed beading techniques.<br />
<br />
Originally made for Kings and Queens as royal thrones, today these chairs are<br />
functional art for the modern, travel-inspired home decorator.<br />
<br />

<br />
Each year at South Africa's <a href="https://www.designindaba.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Desogn Indaba / South Africa">Design Indaba Festival</a>, industry leaders and influencers are called on to nominate what they think is the Most Beautiful Object in South Africa.<br />
<br />
The term <i>object</i> has broad meaning with submissions ranging from fashion, technology and accessories to furniture and abstract art; with the overall winner decided by the voting public.<br />
<br />
This year's Most Beautiful Object in South Africa was awarded to furniture designers <a href="https://houtlander.co.za/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Houtlander / South Africa">Houtlander</a> and their Interdependence Bench II; an eclectic interpretation of a shaker style love seat with a literal twist.<br />

<br />
A modern bohemian home is a space that tells the story of its inhabitants.<br />
<br />
It is not one style, instead a melting pot of different genres; modern, antique, contemporary, boho, Scandinavian or mid century; layered with <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/objects-vases" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Objects / Vases by Safari Fusion">objects</a>, <a href="https://safarifusion.blogspot.com/2018/10/trinkets-treasures.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Trinkets + Treasures / Safari Journal by Safari Fusion">trinkets and treasures</a> collected on travels, mismatched <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/cushions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cuhsions / Pillows by Safari Fusion">textiles</a> and <a href="https://safarifusion.com.au/collections/textiles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wall Art by Safari Fusion">unique art</a>.<br />
<br />
There are no rules with how to create this look, instead select furniture and artisan pieces that have a story and speak to the heart.<br />
