Moroso M'Afrique

Moroso | M'Afrique

Husk: 

The design of HUSK for the home collection of Moroso lent itself to the international sensibility of the outdoor collection M’Afrique, manufactured in Dakar, Senegal. Thorpe had the privilege to travel to Africa and work with the M’Afrique team to collaboratively develop the products for the outdoor collection.

Baobab:  

inspired by the famed Baobab tree found throughout the African continent. The tree’s character is of a large wide trunk with a flat canopy of branches. The table and stool's wide base is produced in Dakar, Senegal, while the top and cushion is produced in Udine, Italy. Baobab celebrates the multi-cultural spirit of Moroso and traditional hand craftsmanship of Senegal. The product is but one within the larger collection of Moroso M'Afrique which represents the beauty of collaboration, diversity and originality. The collection as a whole reflects the unification of cultures and poses a greater dialog around the meaning and values surrounding design as well as the roll of the designer in a global context.

Day Trip:

DayTrip is a composition of multiple surfaces designed to be utilized as low tables and benches. The concept for the piece is rooted in Thorpe's ethos of relational design. The user is offered an opportunity to arrange and design the setting of the surfaces themselves, allowing for their own creative ownership and unique relationship with the product.
