Collection


Precious pieces of art created by Isidore Domingo and manufactured by local craftsmen. 
Light shining gold complementing dark ebony. Structured horn in numerous shades of brown balanced with plain white bone. The  collection is a fascinating blend of contrasts.
It takes true artesan to achieve such natural harmony with contrasting elements. These masters took the art of converting African nature into modern jewelry to a new level.

Materials


All elements used in the realization of Isidore`s creations are from West Africa.
Only natural material is used, mainly horn, bone, ebony, shells, glass beads and leather.

Horn & Bone


The peculiarity of horn consists in its unique color shades and strong colors. Bone in contrast provides lighter and more uniform tones. 
Both materials are from Watussi cows, typical of West Africa.

Ebony & Shells


The finest dark ebony is derived from the trees of the sub-Saharan region. From there come also the small light-coloured shells, which were formerly used as money by the local population.

Glass beads & Brass


The glass beads are from Ghana, the brass from Ghana's Ashanti and ancient brass is bought from the Tuareg.
Many creations are embellished with silver or gold details and combined with fine leather or natural rubber straps.

ABOUT


Isidore Domingo

Isidore Domingo


        Born in the West African country Benin, Isidore Domingo emigrated to Germany. He lives in Berlin for many years, but always kept linked with his African origins. When travelling to his homeland, he got inspired to transform its raw materials and handcraft traditions into modern design.

        He started to search and select local artisans from Ghana, Benin, Togo, Mali and Burkina Faso to work with him. This collaboration led to his first collection in 2009.

        In spring 2010 he founded his company "Isidore Domingo Design" in Berlin and since then sells his creations at major European trade fairs.

Every year he presents new stunning designs, not seen before in Europe.

Social Engagement


An essential aim of the company is to keep alive the great traditions of West Africa. We promote the craftsmanship passed on over generations and encourage new artisans to continue this heritage. 
For many African families this leads to a concrete improvement in the quality of life and self-esteem. In addition, id-Design creates revenues for the continent trough its activities as the jewelry is sold outside Africa.

African Treasures


The abundant nature of Africa offers many treasures that only require an open eye to discover.
