The dramatic patterns and rhythmic motifs of traditional African textiles — like Kuba cloth from the Democratic Republic of the Congo — have deep historical roots. These textiles were created using finely woven raffia fibres, dyed with natural sources, and arranged into complex geometric systems that formed part of cultural storytelling and symbolic language. Highly prized status objects within their societies, they were also admired by Western modernist artists and influenced a growing appreciation for African aesthetics. Inspired by socio-political movements like Black Power and Pan-African pride, this era popularised African-inspired motifs, fabrics such as bògòlanfini (mud cloth), and bold, earthy palettes in mainstream décor. The wallpaper above, in the same Afro-inspired geometric style, reflects this rich design heritage, bringing historical pattern and 1970s retro flair into a modern interior.
