The story

The Gourounsi architecture of the Kassena villages, an ethnic group from southern Burkina Faso, is a vernacular earth architecture. The houses have simple, oblong shapes, with walls slightly inclined and protruding from the roof, allowing cereals to be dried inside. This formal principle serves as the main source of inspiration for this collection.

Production and delivery

Each piece is made by hand in Burkina Faso. A precise lead time is given when you order. We ship worldwide from Paris and Ouagadougou; pieces are carefully packed and insured during transport.

Care

Bronze naturally patinates over time. Simple dusting with a soft, dry cloth is enough. Avoid abrasive or chemical products. To revive the patina, occasional waxing with a neutral wax is recommended.
