ATUNDA turns textile waste into furniture, décor

ATUNDA, a new art and design studio founded by Mabayomije Akinyemi-Ekong, is transforming discarded textile materials into furniture, lighting, home décor, and sculptural objects. The studio was inspired by a pile of tiny fabric pieces found on a road in Yaba, Lagos, which sparked the idea of giving these materials a new life instead of treating them as waste.

ATUNDA's first collection, The Yaba Collection, is made from textile materials recovered from Yaba Textile Market, featuring functional statement art designed for contemporary homes, offices, and public spaces. The studio's work combines design, art, and circularity, with each piece created to be functional while retaining the character and imperfections of the recovered materials.
