Africo – Designed With Culture. Created for Living.
Featuring the Signature Pattern by Colo Nyathi
Africo is a lifestyle brand where cultural heritage meets modern living. At the heart of our collection is an original, striking pattern designed by Colo Nyathi—drawing deeply from African symbolism, nature’s rhythms, and the bold clarity of geometric expression.
This signature pattern forms the foundation for a range of beautifully crafted pieces—from framed artwork and cushions to lamps, ceramics, shoes, and apparel. Every product is a canvas where colour, shape, and story intersect. Its design speaks, evoking tradition while embracing the spirit of contemporary creativity.
Africo is more than décor or fashion. It’s a philosophy: that the things we live with every day should carry meaning, invite curiosity, and reflect who we are. Whether you're styling your space or stepping out into the world, each piece invites you to live with purpose, surrounded by beauty and culture.
Made to use. Styled to display.
Made to Use
This pattern by Colo Nyathi is more than surface design—it’s functional art rooted in rhythm, memory, and meaning. Whether worn on the body or placed in a space, it brings intention, identity, and beauty into the everyday.
From garments and shoes to cushions and linens, the design moves fluidly across materials and forms, offering a tactile, expressive connection to culture. Each piece invites use and interaction, transforming routine moments into rich experiences.
These aren’t just objects or accessories. They are extensions of self—symbols you wear, live with, and return to. A creative language that surrounds you with story and spirit.
Styled to Display
Africo carries visual weight and cultural memory. Inspired by African motifs and the geometric language of traditional craft, it brings ancestral echoes into contemporary spaces—where form, colour, and meaning coexist with purpose.
Styled on framed prints, ceramics, lighting, and sculptural objects, Africo does more than decorate. It defines space. It draws the eye, starts conversations, and creates a sense of rootedness—whether in a gallery wall, a reading nook, or the heart of a home.
The balance of bold geometry and organic repetition evokes the rhythm of textiles, the order of architecture, and the symbolism of stories passed down. It’s a visual language shaped by heritage, reimagined for modern living.
These are not just objects of beauty—they are expressions of culture.
To display Africo is to ground your space in identity, intention, and artistry.
The Inspiration Behind Africo
Africo was inspired by a life shaped in Africa—not by heritage, but by experience. It reflects a deep connection to the land, its people, and the quiet beauty of daily life.
This is not a claim of ownership, but an homage. In African homes and markets, beauty is not just decoration—it’s intention. Found in the curve of a bowl, the weave of a mat, the rhythm of patterns passed down through generations.
Africo captures that spirit. Each design echoes the warmth of light through lattice walls, the balance of traditional forms, and the calm strength of hand-built spaces. It is guided by respect for craft, for culture, and for memory.
These are objects made to be lived with. Simple, thoughtful pieces that carry meaning.
Africo is a quiet thank you—offered in form, shape, and story.
