london, United Kingdom - September 7, 2024 —

Crafted from recycled cotton, these throws offer a unique and meaningful way to elevate the living space. Imagine adorning the sofa with "Chief Palaver," depicting a peaceful dispute resolution scene amidst vibrant flora and fauna.

Amechi Mandi, the designer behind Asafo, understands the modern desire for homeware that reflects individuality and heritage. He sought to create a collection that explored the beauty and tradition of Ghanaian Asafo flags while reinterpreting them for contemporary spaces.

The throws draw inspiration from the Fante sub-group of the Akan people. Each design incorporates symbols and proverbs traditionally found on Asafo flags, used for centuries by warrior companies for social commentary and displays of unity.

"One of the things I have noticed through your work is a real sense of joy through colour," quoted from LivingETC. Amechi Mandi's use of colour is indeed captivating. Imagine the warmth a throw with charming elements and pops of colour would bring to one's living space.
