Swinging from trees or mounted to buildings, barbershop signs are fascinating examples of pop and folk art in Africa. Each sign takes on the unique personality of its owner, expressing both their hairdressing options, and the popular icons they emulate. Hand-painted on particle board, this example features American R&B quartet The Boys. The four Abdulsamad brothers leaped to prominence with three number one singles in the mid to late-eighties. Like many boy bands of the late 20th century, their fanatical following made them icons of cool.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
