Out of Africa Living

Africa is a melting pot of rich and diverse cultures, a continent filled with design talent and incomparable skills. At Out of Africa Living, we celebrate Africa’s exceptional design originality and dynamic energy, our style is unique, reflecting our immense continent.

The vitality of the African colour palette simply bursts with rich yellows, burnt oranges and reds paying homage to our spectacular sunrises and sunsets, the deep indigo blues of the Atlantic Ocean, the ominous greys of an African thunderstorm to the rich earthy browns reminiscent of our lands inspire our collections.

Gorgeous textures and bold patterns are the signatures of beautiful African design and can be found in many of the traditional and locally woven or printed textiles that we source.

From vibrant patterns that create bold vivid statements to crisp white textures that pair comfortably with most furniture finishes.

We embrace the natural beauty of the African landscape and our love for natural materials; clay, grass, wood, botanicals & essential oils…these elements are reflected in our product selections; basketry from across the African continent, handmade ceramic tableware, exquisite photographic images, sumptuous bath and body care and captivating aromatic candles.

Out of Africa Living collectables and objet d’art are sourced from across the African continent, authentic and rare pieces that will add a touch of originality to your home or office, combining exceptionally well with both classic and contemporary design styles. Our store is the ideal place to visit for extraordinary home décor items and unique gifts, from the affordable to the luxurious.

We curate inspiration for the home, connecting the creative work of African artisans and designers to the people of Cape Town and around the world.
