Good Design Awards Tell a friend

Designers: Ini Archibong, L.M.N.O. Creative Sàrl, Neuchatel, Switzerland

Manufacturer: Knoll, East Greenville, Pennsylvania, USA

The chair design in Ini Archibong’s Iquo Café Collection features an elegant, curved silhouette, and one continuous frame that’s both light and resilient.

The chairs come with or without arms and can be stacked six-high on the floor.

Available in five colors, the chairs feature a black, textured polypropylene frame, and the indoor chair can be upholstered with textiles and leather.

Designer Ini Archibong’s West African heritage energizes Knoll’s modern design legacy in this corresponding set of tables and chairs.

The collection—which provides a place to gather both indoors and out in hospitality spaces, offices, and on campus—is named after three generations of Archibong women who share the name Iquo.

The design embraces the moniker’s feminine spirit in balancing elegant curvature.
