AKoKo COLLECTION
AKỌKỌ is a Yoruba word meaning “the beginning”, “the first”, or “that which comes before”. The AKỌKỌ COLLECTION is conceived as both a starting point and a return — a contemporary reinterpretation of historic African forms, crafted through a global design lens. Each piece emerges from architectural investigation and cultural research, distilling traditional structures, postures, and symbols into grounded, minimal forms. Rooted in the principles of Afrorevivalism, these works look back to look forward — reviving cultural memory to imagine new futures for African design.

ÌSÉPÒ SERIES
Extending I-JŌKŌ’s catalogue, introducing a family of furniture defined by lightness, structural clarity, and cultural continuity. Drawing from the sculptural language of European and Hausa minaret architectural vaults and the Makonde stool of Tanzania, traditionally imbued with symbolism and communal presence, the series reinterprets African heritage through modern minimalism. Each piece is anchored by four inward-tapered legs that converge into a vaulted understructure, creating a stance that feels both grounded and uplifted. A manifested definition of the word ÌSÉPÒ from curves that come together and exist in relation to one another.
