SOUL
Sankofa motif is one of the Adinkra symbols of the Ashanti people.
The depiction of a bird turning its head to put back its egg gives the message "go back and bring it", implying a return to the past to make the future productive.
It teaches that we must return to our roots to move forward with wisdom. A sacred reminder that the past is not to be forgotten, but embraced — as the foundation of growth, renewal, and a more enlightened future.

Slow Design
The simplest definition of slow design is materials done thoughtfully, responsibly, and sustainably.
Slowness, in this sense, refers not to how long it takes to create something but rather to how designs are carefully thought out, materials are consciously crafted, and items are appreciated for years to come.
