Ambre Jarno

Between 2012 and 2014, at the age of 24, Ambre Jarno moved to Burkina Faso. During these two years, she traveled through this small landlocked country in West Africa and began to take an interest in African art. This became a passion that would focus how she saw artefacts and would lead her to meet craftsmen and appreciate ancestral techniques, in particular that of casting bronze with lost wax.

A few years later, Maison Intègre was born with the ambition to promote excellent craftsmanship from Burkina Faso, “the country of honest men” to which it owes its name.

Today, Ambre divides her time between Europe and Ouagadougou where she lives in the artists’ quarter in order to be closer to the workshop where her team works.
