Harouna Porgo is one of the main bronzemakers at Maison Intègre. He oversees the production of Y lamps. His dexterity and speed of execution are a considerable asset, especially for pieces requiring special textured finishes. Harouna is also a genuine creative, expressing himself with his hands, and wax modelling holds no secrets for him.

“I’ve been working with bronze since I was seven years old. I’ve been working with Ambre for four years now, and this experience has given me a lot, both in terms of knowledge and relationships. The bronze business isn’t easy in Burkina Faso, but with the new workshop, together, I think it can go.”
