I thought this was a shop and I was going to make sure next time I visit Londen I'd pay it a visit and hopefully buy a few treasures. Alas, it's his home! Incredible. The flags are absolutely gorgeous.
Initially, I was really overwhelmed with the amount of objects crammed into a small space and it was a real assault on the senses. Then I felt a great comfort in what I am witnessing as a viewer. I think in recent years we have become used to a vacuum of artificially curated spaces where everything is tidied away and displayed and it becomes very uniform and sterile. This is the complete opposite and you know what, I really enjoyed this refreshing, unvarnished piece of film. I got to know the collector behind the objects, and the real story, rather than an over polished narrative. I particularly enjoyed the flags and the symbolism involved. Thanks Cabana for making me think, and learn something new. You always have a refreshing take on what you realise in the World. Thank you,
This guy is amazing! He’s got a keen eye and depth of knowledge only achieved through experience, hard work and appreciation for craftsmanship regardless of medium. Gorgeous jewelry and arrangements are equally dazzling and the Ghanan flags are fantastic. Such a cool dude too. 😊❤️
Wow! Those flags are beautiful and so unique. He put my collection of stuff to shame. Made me feel okay about my collecting beauty. It's all so fascinating. 💜
A bit overwhelming because of the amount of items but so many beautiful objects I understand why he collected them. It would be difficult to say, "no," especially to those flags.
I think I broke out in hives when I saw how full of objects his place was...but....I loved it. ( I have almost nothing around my home). His passion for searching and finding and displaying new things was palpable and infectious. And the OCD part of my self immediately wondered..."how does he catalog all of this material and then insure it...?"
This was very enlightening in the sense that we got to know a bit about the collector behind the objects and his many collections are indeed extremely lovely. That said, I must confess that it all came dangerously close to a hoarder's den at one point. Some of those items, the gorgeous African flags and other textiles for instance, would be better served and preserved being properly framed instead of folded and piled amid a sea of other stuff. Perhaps he ought to be a tad more selective about what he actually has on display while still maintaining that cozy 'cluttered chic' vibe.
What treasures!!!! So you’re saying the Fante were collaborators and the British used their small numbers to conquer the Asante! Ok got it. Colonial crimes. Check.

Wish this video was two hours long!🤩
Me too!
I can't remember ever seeing so many beautiful things in one place at the same time EVER! I'm stunned 😍
His commentary on on good taste vs bad taste was so refreshing and democratic. What a delightful man and what a wonderful film, Cabana‼️❤️
Thank you so much, it's our pleasure :)
The flags are stunning, worthy of an art gallery. Thank you for the video. Appreciated!

Best comment, ever. :)
Eccentric, British, Unique. The man is a gem

This is amazing home..dont you feel that the walls ‘attack’ you sometimes ? 😊
I’m just wondering if any of this was ever stolen originally and then re-sold and resold and then talk to this man
I wish he had a bigger house in which to display everything (no doubt he'd fill it up).
A hoarder of beautiful objects, but nonetheless a hoarder.
As long as it’s kept clean and dusted and spider free, I’m OK with it. If it’s dusty and musty, then, yuck.

This channel’s cringe-level lack of self awareness marches on….however the Collective West’s genocide in Gaza is rapidly waking up the world
The cat is sedated at all times in order to keep it from tearing the place apart.
