Africana Collection

The Africana chair and rocker explore the intersection between African form languages and Eurocentric design paradigms.

Teague's hand-carved detailing in each piece harkens to West African tribal carving practices, while Africana's stoutness implies the steadfastness and resilience of the collective African American spirit.

The leather cushion is hand-crafted by Chicago-based leather maker, Yohance Lacour and stamped in the Yoruba language and means "craft a black circle of economy" emphasizing the need for autonomy across the African diaspora.  Teague marries digital fabrication technology with handcrafted methods to bring this atelier line to life.
