The Ini Archibong furniture collection embraces femininity + strength

Designate Ini Archibong teamed up with Mound to release the Archibong collection, full of the design sensibility and influences his work is known for. Described as a coffee collection, the Archibong collection consists of two table models and two chair models. They’re all suitable for both indoors and outdoors, something we’ve seen more recently and love. All four pieces feature feminine curves, displaying strength and durability while managing to feel light and airy in aesthetics. In fact, the name of the Iquo chairs is the name of Ini’s grandmother and mother, and her daughter’s middle name. It means “powerful voice”, which seems to translate perfectly into the designs of these pieces.
