The talented exhibitors include: Award winning transformist, Ini Archibong, Nigeria; Ethiopia and Kenya inspired Jomo Furniture, who has been celebrated by the likes of Vogue Magazine and Wallpaper*; and Kofar Mata Dye Pit, whose dyeing technique is encapsulated by the history of the ancient city of Kano.
In celebration of the rich and multi-dimensional design landscape on the African continent, the designers represent countries such as Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana,
Mali, Nigeria, Senegal and Ivory Coast. Their works fall between three categories; Furniture/Product Design, Textile Design and Environmental Design and promises to be a multi-sensory experience-taking visitors on a journey through the beauty and complexity of diverse cultural influences.
AFRICA BY DESIGN will also be the first exhibition of its kind to inspire a dialogue about the business of design; looking at its potential to contribute to local economies through manufacture and employment. AFRICA BY DESIGN is delighted to have had The African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank) as its sponsoring knowledge partner, The Financial.
