Design Studio: What we do
We explore new approaches to design. The guiding philosophy behind our design sensibility is trado‑cultural futurism—a fusion of modernity and traditions, and of time and history. It is an exploratory process that aims to discover new pathways to creating innovative lifestyle products and interior furnishings that take inspirations from multiple cultures and traditions. AfriMod does this by deconstructing precedent cultural and traditional design elements to extract their core essence as inspirations for new products. It is a method akin to moving from the present to the future through the past. A process of coaxing and evolving past cultural design narratives through the lens of the present to arrive at a future consensus that is evocative, yet relevant to modern global aesthetic.
