Here are some more details and a nice story from A+Z Design:
Return to the Source / senUFO - originals.
Find a quiet place and sit comfortably. Imagine a happier story then the film "District 9".
Once upon a time there was an UFO floating above Africa, somewhere between the South of Mali and Ivory Coast. The aliens seeing that the locals have no furniture whatsoever, tried to approach them friendly with design. The locals have never seen such objects before, they started wondering what the strange metal and clean colours were. The metal was Aluminium and the colours were CMYK the four basic colours.
After the aliens left the locals started copying these objects out of wood. This is how Senufo tribal carving has become known to the world.
Hungarian design duo a+z design was founded 2009 by Attila F. Kovacs and Zsuzsa Megyesi. Attila + Zsuzsa teamed up after several successful common interior design work to produce their own furniture and lighting collections.
