Artisans in Malawi have a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship, using sustainable resources from the environment and the knowledge of locals over generations. What they lack is access to modern design, a platform to sell their products and the financial means to establish themselves as a sustainable business. This is where Maria and her team, our local partner, come in. Her award-winning social enterprise helps low-income artisans build their businesses while preserving a centuries-old cultural heritage. The art of rattan weaving is passed down from generation to generation and it takes up to 8 days to complete a Malawi chair.

Good to know:
Each armchair is hand-woven by artisans from an award-winning social enterprise in Malawi and is truly unique. Please therefore expect small variations.
The Malawi armchair is a bulky item. Items that are shipped as bulky goods will be charged proportionately with 30,00€ shipping costs. This is also the case with normally free shipping. In the event of an exchange or complaint, you can return the item within 30 days at our expense.
"I'm super proud that through innovative designs we have rejuvenated and made hip a traditional profession that was previously considered inferior, outdated and underpaid."
Maria, founder and director of the social enterprise
