OUR STORY

'Based upon a true story' presents the works of artisans and social enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa. Every piece is unique and carries the personality and unique talent of the artisan who made it. Let the power of crafts mesmerize you and transform your interiors!

Crafts are a beautiful and impactful tool of empowerment and connection.
Whilst they preserve heritage and ancestral community structures, they are a lever for empowerment and positive change.
And above all, they bring joy and fulfillment at both ends.

OFFICE DESIGN
Crafts are a powerful and engaging means of manifesting the values your company stands for.
They have a story to tell of identity, dedication and shared values.

An office designed with handmade objects shifts the way employees feel and allows you to walk the talk.
