- MAISON INTÈGRE
Bio
Since 2017, Maison Intègre has been based in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. We make furniture and objects in bronze from the ancestral know-how of lost wax.
Each piece is made from recycled metals and natural materials. Our workshop brings together about fifteen multi-skilled craftsmen to whom we aim to ensure a regular volume of work, enabling them to make a living from their skills.
By making cultural players aware of this type of approach and by collaborating with international designers and artists, we want to make the work of Burkinabe artisans visible to the rest of the world. Our collections are the result of intercultural collaborations and their commercialization allows craftsmen talented people to improve their living conditions, by making craftsmanship as a lever for economic and social development.
In 2022, we decided to create our own foundry in order to be able to welcome and bring together artisans. Through this project, we wish to be part of a long-term approach of quality and excellence by developing the know-how of lost wax bronze while ensuring that its authenticity is preserved.
