Introducing the QOQA Collection: Simplify, Organise, Create

As remote work continues to shape our lives, the need for spaces that inspire creativity and foster productivity has never been greater. The QOQA Collection was created with this in mind—an answer to the clutter that can overwhelm even the most organised minds. Inspired by the French culinary philosophy of Mise en Place and the principles of Feng Shui, the collection brings order and balance to your workspace, ensuring that every element serves a purpose while maintaining a clean and harmonious environment.

The name "QOQA," meaning gathering, tidying, and sorting in isiZulu, reflects this philosophy. It's a call to action to transform your workspace into a sanctuary for focus and creativity. Each piece in the collection is modular, offering the flexibility to tailor your setup while maintaining a sleek, minimal aesthetic that allows for smooth flow and organisation.

Crafted from modular sheet metal, the QOQA pieces are built to be robust yet simple to produce, ensuring both durability and ease of use. The collection’s clean lines and functional design were carefully considered to enhance your workspace, making it a place where productivity and creativity can thrive in perfect harmony. From the subtle balance of materials to the thoughtful arrangement of components, the QOQA Collection brings the principles of Mise en Place and Feng Shui to life—transforming your environment into one of clarity, inspiration, and balance.

After months of prototyping and fine-tuning, I’m excited to share the results of this journey. The QOQA Collection is more than just furniture—it’s a system for organising your work and mind. Whether you’re upgrading your workspace or looking for the perfect gift for someone who values order and creativity,

I’m excited to hear your thoughts on this new addition to the UMUGQA STUDIO range.
