ANNOUNCING THE
AA ABROAD AFRICAN DESIGN CONTEST!
Diane von Furstenburg recently told Elle Decor magazine that the most interesting design today is happening in Africa, noting that "they use and recycle everything there. The way they put things together--things that really have to work and perform a function---that to me is great design." URL:
