Fula Project
AfriMod Fula Project was inspired by the spectacular geometric and abstract motifs that adorn Fulani wedding blankets.
The design and weave of Fulani blankets is uniquely Sahelian. It employs an intricate combination of centuries-old geometric and abstract motifs to result in elegant tapestries that are timeless. The range of design elements include lines, spots, triangles, lozenges and chevrons with occasional colorful pom-poms and tassels added as embellishments.
These beautifully crafted blankets are traditionally given as wedding presents or as part of the dowry during marriage celebrations and are cherished as very important possessions of new brides.
At AfriMod, we extracted the core elements of Fulani design sensibilities. We paid attention to their use of lines, dots, triangles, lozenges, chevrons, colors, etc. We examined how they used geometric and abstract features as storytelling tools. And working with these elements, we focused on infusing the essence of Fulani exaltation of love and marriage into our blanket, bedding, throw pillow and shower curtain designs.
