The name Naledi comes from the Sotho tribe in Southern Africa and means beautiful star. In addition to US based designers this collection features designers from the developing world so that Naledi might become a design beacon; a guiding light for designers just as the stars in the night have guided many a traveler since the beginning of time.
Some of the greatest developments in music and the arts have come from the unlikeliest of places. Even though it may go un-noticed the truth is, that there is a world of diversity and talent that is producing work outside of the traditional design centers of the world that is both striking and refreshing. This collection gives voice to those designers.
We hope you will enjoy the diversity of their work as much as their talent inspired us.
