Design in Africa reveals a world primarily concerned with objects that are used as supports for the human body. Their conception bears witness to creativity getting to grips with the attitudes, movements and forms of decoration. A dialogue between form and function results in objects that may be either comfortable or prestigious.
African creators are, of course, free in their thoughts and techniques, and some of them are inspired – knowingly or not – by forms that are anchored in the repertory of the traditional arts.
