在宜家公司家居用品系列中，有由非洲设计师出品的座椅、编发篮子等等。

Överallt家具系列2月份在开普敦的Design Indaba会议上公布，其中有5件来自5位非洲设计师的作品，其中有Sengalese时尚设计师Selly Raby Kane、南非纺织品设计师Laduma Ngxokolo，以及肯尼亚设计工作室Studio Propolis。

这五项产品包括以非洲景观为设计灵感的纺织品、回收于废弃包装的地毯，以及鼓励人们社交的长凳。

A chair that is "perfect for hacking" and baskets made from faux hair braids are among the products created by African designers for an IKEA homeware range.
Launched this week at the Design Indaba conference in Cape Town, the Överallt collection features products by creatives from five African countries, including Sengalese fashion designer Selly Raby Kane, South African textile designer Laduma Ngxokolo and Kenyan design office Studio Propolis.
It also includes textiles that reference African landscapes, rugs made from recycled crisp packets and a bench designed to encourage socialising.

该项目由宜家公司与Design Indaba共同合作，Design Indaba公司的任务是挑选设计师。

宜家公司希望这个项目能够向全世界展示非洲的创意爆发力。

The project is the result of a partnership with Design Indaba, which had the task of picking which designers should be involved.
IKEA hopes the project will show the world that there is an explosion of creativity coming out of Africa right now.

Design Indaba创始人Ravi Naidoo说道：“他们十分感兴趣非洲的一切。他们希望通过这种方式来捕捉这些信息，同时希望我们能够与一些非洲人民合作，因为非洲人民是此类精神的代表。”

“宜家是一个家居公司，因此我们不需要再刻意去挑选家具设计师。我们挑选了优秀的思想家，我们也只是碰巧发现了一些真正走出去且具有冒险精神、能够自我表达的人们，他们代表了非洲的最佳创意。”

"They were quite interested in what was rising from the top out here in Africa, that Africa is now," explained Design Indaba founder Ravi Naidoo. "They wanted to capture this in some way, and asked if we could possibly assist with finding some great people of Africa who could be most representative of this spirit."
"Because they are a furniture company, we didn't necessarily go and pick furniture designers," he continued. "We actually picked good thinkers. We just went across and found people who are really getting out there, taking risks and expressing themselves, and who represented the best of the African creative bug."


Selly Raby Kane设计了一个看起来像编发的篮子／Selly Raby Kane designed a basket to look like braided hair

Selly Raby Kane的作品设计来源于设计师对于头发的喜爱。这是一个篮子，分成两种尺寸，篮子由纺织纤维制作而成，有着编发的形态。

Kane解释说：“对我而言，这是将非洲西部编织进世界家园。我希望当人们看到这个篮子时，这个篮子能够激发他们的好奇心，然后人们会将这件作品与非洲的仪式感联系在一起，从而进行深究。”

Selly Raby Kane's product comes from her self-professed "obsession with hair". She designed a basket, available in two sizes, made from textile fibre designed to look like braided hair.
"To me, it's a way of referencing the ritual of braiding in West Africa into the homes of the world," explained Kane. "I hope that when people see the basket, their curiosity is sparked, and that they connect with trans-African rituals and dig deeper into the archives."


Issa Diabaté设计了一张由单片胶合面板制作而成的椅子，其中并没有固定装置／Issa Diabaté designed a chair made from a single sheet of plywood without any fixings

来自非洲象牙海岸建筑师兼设计师Issa Diabaté设计了一张简约的椅子，它反应了非洲人民在室内外的生活方式。这张椅子由单片胶合板制作而成，它很好地满足了使用者的需求。

Diabaté说：“我希望设计既美观又具功能性的物品，但是前提是不要花费太多材料和技术。这张椅子只通过单片胶合面板制作而成，并且没有应用固定装置，因此不需要钉子、胶水等其他复杂工艺。”

Issa Diabaté, an architect and designer from the Ivory Coast, designed a simple chair that reflects the African approach to living outdoors and indoors. Made using only a single sheet of plywood, the chair is designed to be tailored to its user's needs.
"I wanted to design a pleasant and functional object without using costly materials or sophisticated technology," said Diabaté. "This chair is made out of a sheet of plywood and a jigsaw, technically. No necessity for nails, glue or screws or any other complex fabrication process."
