Made by design is an original documentary series highlighting architects, interior and product designers in Africa. The series was created by Titi Ogufere, CEO of Essential Media Group (EMG).
The Made by Design documentary will offer a glimpse into Africans’ architectural, interior design and product design landscape. It features interviews and peeks at the outstanding projects of some of the best architects and designers in Africa. It will be a journey of discovering the faces behind product design, interiors and architecture of notable buildings done by Africans today while exploring their creative process and examining the uniqueness of their work.
These designers in the field are notable. Their art creates inspiration for other designers, helps the world through sustainability methods and creates
much-needed job opportunities in unique and revolutionary ways. Throughout the documentary, we will showcase the designers’ distinctive philosophies.
Last year, Essential Media struck a strategic partnership with double Emmy Award winner and global filmmaker Abiola Matesun to produce documentaries on African Design.
EMG has made 3 different series of this documentary. The first series features creatives like
Tosin Oshinowo, Demi Semande, Studio Lani, Seun Oduwole,
Papa Omotayo, Theo Lawson, Osaru Alile, Diseye Tantua, Muni Shonibare, Jackie Aki , Tola Akerele, Dapo Akintunde and Julia Amadi Obi.
Through this documentary series, we will represent the community, inspire others, and educate audiences globally.
