Unboxing the Black Coffee Project

Our latest and most exciting project with Black Coffee – an award-winning South African DJ and global music icon – proved to us that dreams do come true.

As an African design brand, Arkivio is working hard to carve our own path in the international market. We hope to develop our unique African Modernism Design to export to the rest of the world. There are not many people who have done more to put African Arts and creativity on the map than Black Coffee; he has always been an inspiration for what creativity and hard work can achieve. When the Arkivio team is working through the day, his music regularly fills the factory floor with good vibes. So, when the team found out that he'd chosen an Isibo Mirror for his personal home, we knew we had to add a little something extra special for the South African icon.

His mirror comes from our latest Isibo collection, which is inspired by the craft, shapes, and textures of Africa. His mirror was manufactured in a solid brass frame with an aged patina and brown leather detailing. We finished the mirror with a one of a kind "Trust Your Dopeness" wooden backing.
