What Women are Making: Africa via Italy
Patrizia Moroso, creative director of the Italian design company, Moroso, created an homage to African design at Salone del Mobile 2009 and then again at ICFF, collaborating with a slew of star designers including Ayse Birsel and Patricia Urquiola. The work is nothing short of phenomenal.

Ayse Birse of Birsel + Seck via birselplusseck.com whose work is a “hub for African architecture, design and eco-friendly development projects.”
Me-Design magazine says: “2009 looks set to be a year for the girls at Moroso … they’ll also be exhibiting pieces from all-girl design studio Front.”
