Lofa Design Story

Story:

Lofa draws its spirit from Lofa County, the northernmost region of Liberia, a landscape defined by fertile forests, agricultural legacy, and the quiet resilience of the communities who cultivate its land.

Viewed from above, the design echoes the geometry of farming beds, ordered yet organic, mapping a visual tribute to the rice fields and cocoa farms that sustain the region. The rhythmic repetition speaks to cycles of growth, harvest, and generational knowledge passed through the soil.

This is more than pattern; it is land interpreted through design.

Design Influence

Rooted in West African agricultural landscapes, Lofa reflects the geometry of cultivated land while honoring the cultural traditions of Liberia’s northern communities through a modern, design-forward lens.

Color Story

Each palette reflects the richness of Liberia’s forest floor while offering a distinct design personality:

  • Faded — softened greys layered over earth tones, evoking morning mist rising over cultivated land.
  • Black Barbie — deep pink set against grounding neutrals, where strength meets vibrancy.
  • Susu — bright yellow illuminating the pattern like equatorial sunlight breaking through canopy.

Across all colorways, shades of fertile brown and lush green anchor the design — a reminder that everything begins with the earth.

Quote by Remul: 

“Lofa is my tribute to land, to the patterns visible only when we step back far enough to see how deeply everything is connected.”
