African Textile Design I
During my internship in South Africa I came across a really wonderful book in the library of ITI. It shows endless examples of amazing African textile design. I was really inspired by the designs and their timeless appeal especially regarding the year they were actually designed (see details which I added to a few images). The book is called "The Art of African Textiles" by John Picton (Editor). Buy from Amazon (UK, US, DE).
