Our Story — The Spirit of Return
Meyourge is a Philadelphia-born design house founded by Liberian designer Remul Johnson. Rooted in West African heritage and elevated through Afro-futurist expression, we transform traditional textile language into modern functional art — printed in New York, crafted in Philadelphia, and inspired by the continent.
Meet the Founder: Remul Johnson
Remul Johnson is a Liberian interior designer based in Philadelphia whose work bridges diaspora identity and contemporary design. After years of searching for interiors that authentically reflected African vibrancy without reducing it to trend, he founded Meyourge — a brand rooted in cultural permanence, not seasonal fashion.
His design philosophy merges ancestral craftsmanship with modern function, proving that African aesthetics are not a moment — they are timeless architecture of identity.
Where Heritage Meets Afro-Futurism
At the heart of Meyourge lies West African textile tradition particularly Ankara wax print. Though its migration traces through Indonesia and the Netherlands, it was African makers who transformed it into a language of identity, celebration, and resistance.
We honor that evolution. Our work does not replicate tradition it reinterprets it. Through bold color scaling, graphic rhythm, and modern application, we position African design confidently inside contemporary spaces.
This is Afro-futurism grounded in legacy.
Global Study. Local Impact.
From Senegalese tile craftsmanship to Ghanaian weaving traditions, Remul studies ancestral techniques across the African continent not for aesthetic imitation, but for cultural accuracy.Each Meyourge piece is printed in New York and sewn or assembled in Philadelphia, reinforcing our commitment to diasporic craftsmanship and ethical production.Beyond commerce, our mission is economic empowerment creating opportunity for artisans both on the continent and within the diaspora.
Design That Calls You Home
Meyourge pieces are more than décor — they are portals. Whether layered into a contemporary loft or grounding a traditional home, our textiles invite conversation, memory, and identity into your space.
At the intersection of beauty and function, we design so that you are always yearning to return home.
With gratitude,
Remul Johnson
