Inspired by my previous feature video, THE DESIGN ACTIVIST WITH THE BLUEPRINT TO AFRICA, in this video I looked at how one of the world’s well known Furniture brands, IKEA, had 10 collaborations with 11 Middle Eastern and African designers from various fields.

In this feature video I’m having a riveting and insightful conversation with Abidjan based Design activist Nana Spio-garbrah founder of Blueprint Africa. A company whose main objective is to use visual branding and built environments as a window to the various sides of the African story.  The world should appreciate the ways in which rural-urban, poor and rich, trendy and traditional collide into the chaotic kaleidoscope that is everyday living in Africa.
