    Bolibana

    Hamed Ouattara @ Design Miami Basel (Booth G09) 12 - 18 Jun 2023
    For its first participation at Design Miami Basel, Foreign Agent will present "Bolibana", from acclaimed designer from Burkina Faso, Hamed Ouattara, whose work was recently acquired by the Denver Museum of Art. Born in 1971 in Ouagadougou, the industrial design graduate from Paris is known for his meticulous artisanal prowess; utilizing collected scraps, debris, industrial waste – in particular oil barrels as his raw material. Hamed Ouattara named his latest series BOLIBANA which in the Bamana language of Mali and Burkina Faso means “the happy ending of an unusual journey” a tribute to the entirety of his body of work since his beginnings. His productions are entirely handmade, using ancestral welding techniques. The result is a bold series of original and functional sculptures, a daring combination of architectural elegance and playful animality.

    In addition to Hamed Ouattara’s work, Foreign Agent will also present a unique piece from renowned Mozambican artist and designer Gonçalo Mabunda. “Big Chair” is composed of decommissioned weapons from the Mozambican civil war. Mabunda’s work has been acquired by the Chazen Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.

    Finally, Foreign Agent will present chairs by Ousmane Mbaye Design from his new Plus collection made in Dakar.
