In Burkino Faso, West Africa, there is a town called Tiebélé, home of the royal court, 'Cour Royale', of the Kassena people. I am beside myself with excitement at the patterns on the walls of every surface within the 1.2 km compound. Contemporary product design on buildings of a culture that first settled here in the 15th century. Woo hoo! ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjjayUKP9NhwsqIXAZBMHT10JENQC11TJRsNpmPclj3ufz1ChpZwFxY7d4v6pe0QdizhRUB1I4YeGUFOMvdnWwYi9F0XiFzW9bxsIg2O0KTbRbM2UW7dtz4vIny91oqR3x4HzowyovoSM/s1600/Tiebele+House+3.jpg)

In my excitement I kept no credits for images, apologies.
They look so cool! I want to paint our house now :)
