Ìkó — Glossy Enamel Cup
Ìkó is more than a vessel. In Igbo, ìkó means cup: a simple form imbued with symbolism — of gathering, offering, and everyday ritual. Here, design becomes a quiet power, rooted in heritage yet speaking in contemporary form.
Across its glossy enamel surface, scattered impressions of Ridi (sesame seed) and Rogo (cassava root) motifs appear — patterns once cultivated in the soil by displaced women, now reimagined as symbols of growth, resilience, and belonging. The result is a modern collectible that feels both grounded and expressive.
