M’Afrique consists of a unique blend of international design and local manufacturing that culminate in a series of seating and accessories that show the pros and cons of the hand made process. This collection was launched all the way back in 2009, the event serving as a celebration of the brand’s 10th anniversary.

The collection is 100% made in Dakar, Senegal and it counts with the cooperation of names such as Patricia Urquiola, Ron Arad, Martino Gamper, Tord Boontje and Sebastian Herkner. In order to create the pieces, all of these designers have worked closely with the local manufacturers through the use of using traditional fishing materials and ropes.

This collection kept expanding more and more throughout the years. Some of the designers that have recently worked with Moroso include Concetta Giannangeli, Ron Arad, and David Weeks. We point out that these outdoor furniture pieces that have been appearing throughout the years celebrate the traditional methods and craftsmanship of the region of Dakar, Senegal, as well as serving as an opportunity for designers of different experiences, backgrounds and continents to cooperate in order to obtain some innovating results.
