ROOTS: Inherited Forms
A Foundational Capsule By MoTSO DeSIGNED
DESIGN LANGUAGE...
ROOTS is guided by a calm, architectural approach to African-inspired design.
This capsule is defined by:
- Repetition and rhythm,
- Geometric pattern systems,
- Earth-led and neutral palettes,
- Cultural references expressed through form, and symbolism,
- Surfaces designed to hold space quietly.
Every design begins with pattern as language, not decoration.

ROOTED SPACES: Inherited Forms
Designed to be lived with.
Carried forward through form.
ROOTS · Inherited Forms is a foundational MoTSO DeSIGNED capsule exploring how heritage lives quietly within the home.
Grounded in African pattern, rhythm, and spatial memory, this body of work translates inherited forms into contemporary surfaces and soft furnishings. Each piece is designed to shape a space rather than dominate it, therefore allowing culture to be felt through texture, repetition, and material presence.
This is not trend-led design.
It is continuity made visible.
THE CAPSULE SEAL
Each piece in this capsule carries the Rooted Spaces · Inherited Forms designation, thus marking it as part of this foundational design chapter within the MoTSO DeSIGNED studio.
