Afrodutch’s process is rooted in skillful craftsmanship and close collaboration. Sourcing raw materials from Jacaranda, Mango, and Teak woods, the team partners with artisans in Wamunyu, Matakos, and Kibera to create pieces with care and precision. Carving and sculpting are completed by experienced craftsmen, while the finishing touches take place in their Ngong Hills workshop.
Traditional techniques are central, yet each piece has a modern twist. Designs, inspired by founder Ruth’s heritage and her grandmother’s influence, carry a blend of the old and the new, embodying both tradition and contemporary style.
