INSPIRATION

KILI C

COLLECTION, SAFARI DEVELOPMENT

SAFARI design began with the idea of the different types of movement across the land and the imprints made throughout history.

The design was commenced with the more traditional element of the basket and its weave. This was decontructed and arranged to also represent travel by footprints in the soil.
