ENDU is a textile design collection made for Ride with a Mission for Studio So_Sarpi in Milan and was exhibited at FuoriSalone, Milan Design Week in 2019.

Ride with a Mission is a project that raises funds to bring clean water to Tenghory's district in Senegal, including five elementary schools.

Endu translates as to spend the day in Wolof,

the most widely spoken language in Senegal.

This design illustrates the everyday interactions between the Senegalese people and water, inspired by the daily routines of collecting, cooking, washing and drinking water.  

 

Charlotte explores the body language and movement formed in these interactions, translating them into colourful symbols and simple geometric forms.

The designs encourage the viewer to look beyond the aesthetic, and explore and question the representation of each shape.
