Nasozi Kakembo Shows Off Global Style In Maryland
In 2011, Nasozi Kakembo founded her lifestyle brand, xN Studio. Offering beautiful pieces handmade by artisans in Uganda, Ghana and Tanzania, Nasozi’s love of African home decor accents is evident throughout her own home located in the suburbs of Washington DC. “My aesthetic is Brooklyn Afro-Scandi Modern. I love a functional minimalism that doesn't sacrifice personality and comfort. I also love the versatility of Danish modern furniture, which can be easily paired with more vintage elements, which I am also drawn to,” says Nasozi about the design of her home.
