Nbari & its origin!
The name "Nbari" was inspired by the "Mbari" arts of the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria, traditionally sacred architecture constructed to honor their most revered gods. At Nbari, we resonate deeply with this philosophy, believing that every individual harbors creative potential akin to the divine essence, and Nbari serves as the conduit for its manifestation.
Our mission is to redefine Africa's creative standards. We take a structured approach: first, we help you uncover the essence of your creative vision, then guide you in expanding your horizons. Ultimately, we walk with you throughout your creative journey, focusing on refining your craft to the highest level.
Nbari was founded by industry leaders, Tunde Ogunkunle and Samuel Obadina, who bring over 25 years of combined expertise in brand design, product design, architecture, strategy, and industrial design.
