THE LEXICON LIBRARY

Shapes, Shaping meaning and form.

The Lexicon Library is an ongoing design research study exploring how shape, symbol and pattern can carry meaning.

Rooted in guiding principles found within ancient long African design pattern systems, the library looks to history not as something to replicate, but as a source from which to learn, interpret and reimagine using key principles and structure.

Each shape begins as part of this research, reformed, distilled, simplified and translated through a contemporary design language. Together, they form a growing visual lexicon: a library of shapes that can be composed, repeated and reinterpreted across textiles, objects and spaces.

The first result is a collection of contemporary pieces for the home, which form also a record of an evolving design practice where cultural research, geometry, colour and material come together to create objects with meaning.

The Lexicon Library makes its first debut at Shoppe Object Paris, 05–07 September 2026.

This first presentation is trade-facing, offering a first look at the library and its application across Lulasclan’s textiles and objects.

It is the beginning of our new chapter an ongoing study where we are interchangeably the learner and the creator. It is by far a conclusion, nor by no means the end of its intended destination.

LC Studio Experiences - with

This month shifted to a more personal note, one of invitation, intentional gatherings, learnings, and the building of cultural connections. As our focus leans currently within our creative studio practice and exploring our next visual language through experimentation, storytelling and offering we welcomed people across continents to gather around design, and pieces that spark conversation around the Art of textile making, unpacking the meaning behind our prints, our process and championing the making as opposed to the final product.

In our recent travel group visit we had the delight of welcoming into our textile experimental studio sharing a glimpse of our world in colour and patterns with textile design lovers from all around the globe. It’s so beautiful to witness how things are unfolding circling back to what they were supposed to be, educating, connecting through design and witnessing unity brought about by a shared understanding as well as an appreciation for the craft.

A special thank you to Lily and Megan from for facilitating the tour and bringing us on board.

This is how we want to build our future textile community.💫

Over the last couple of months we took the time to reflect on our next steps at Lulasclan, we had hit a much needed pause, faced with growth challenges that called for an inward reflection to guide us back to our North Star.

The truth is starting a business is easy and might even look like it’s all glamourous and well put together, but what goes on behind it all, in keeping it going and ensuring that the doors remain open, and jobs are secured amidst volatile factors such as global and economical challenges, consumer purchase behavioural changes, and making designer pieces right here at home had really stretched us to a breaking point.

While we approach our 10 year mark, we realised in order to create an impact to cutapilt the African design language and story we so much want to share with the world, we needed to go back to learning and not the drawing board of creating and releasing another collection as a quick solve, but to really peel back the layers and allow ourselves to transition into a space that is uncomfortable, and requires absolute vulnerability, and intentionality.

The ventures foundation was our divine intervention, over the last 2 days we engaged with some of Africa’s treasured minds, expert panel of mentors and stepped into a room where we could unpack and collaboratively solve each designer-led businesses pain point.

Within the room there was a shared stand out common goal that we all want Africa to win, that we want to create an impact in the world, to document our cultural heritage stories and create world class sustainable businesses, that not only looked premium but had the solid foundations, systems and infrastructure that can contribute to support future creatives and pioneers of the world.

While the dust is still settling, we walk away with so much knowledge, where we felt stuck, we’ve found practical solutions, where we thought was the end, we’ve found a fresh revived spirit and direction, a big thank you to for your hospitality and imparted knowledge and all the partners, and esteemed panel of experts for your shared contribution.

The future of LC is something different *hint
