Africa

Maori Duafe

Beauty, femininity |August 17, 2009

Design Story

Duafe is an Adinkra symbol that comes originally from Ghana, and on this account we placed it in our section dedicated to Africa, even if it has been revisited in a Maori style. It represents a woman comb, and it symbolizes beauty and femininity.

Accordingly we thought of using the motifs of the waves (water itself is a symbol of femininity and fertility), korus (new life) and a stylized manta in the second version, a symbol of beauty and freedom.
