Named after three generations
Knoll explains that the Iquo Café Collection takes its name from three generations of women in the Archibong family who all share the name Iquo, and that the design carries the name's feminine spirit.

West African spirituality and midcentury furniture
The son of Nigerian immigrants, Archibong drew on West African spirituality and midcentury American furniture in equal parts, and Knoll describes the sculptural silhouettes as airy yet robust.
