icff-2009.jpgThis booth was a little confusing to source, but we met Florence Edmond from Martinique and loved her pillows as well as this amazing bedroom by Aboubakar Fofana of Mali. Both are part of AfriqueAuthentique-AuthentiqueAfrica, a design collective.

More info below...

 
 

The collective is devoted to promoting "the beauty of the creative skills of the traditional cultures of Africa" and everything is 100% organic and 100% handmade. How to find these products is another thing. For Florence's rich, dark pillows you can email her at usinedesign @ hotmail.com, and for Aboubakar's work, you can find him at his website: aboubakar-fofana.com

I tired something like this over a bed for my daughter's room. The problem I ran into was getting enough airflow and AC inside the curtained area. Maybe this wouldn't be a big deal in colder climates....but it didn't work in FL.
