What do we believe?
We believe in slow design. We’ve connected with artisan groups from around the globe to preserve and honour traditional artistry, and we love the idea of limited edition, small-batch homewares that can be admired for a very long time.
We believe in knowing the origin of the products we buy, as well as the impact of our consumption—not only on the environment, but also on the communities and individuals that create them.
Every Obakki product reflects our values of sustainability, traceability and ethical production.

What is our impact?
With every Obakki purchase, consumers are supporting meaningful income opportunities for artisans, their families, and their communities. Obakki provides a platform for these talented makers to share their craft with a global audience.
Obakki’s main mission is to support and expand our artisan partnerships, and to fund development work through the Obakki Foundation (our philanthropic counterpart). Focused on providing clean water access and livelihood initiatives around the globe, to date we’ve helped over 4 million people.
How do we support our artisans?
We pay fairly and promptly, advancing funds early and offering sampling budgets. We purchase products directly from our artisan partners at a price determined by them and when needed, we reinvest back into expanding their businesses and into their communities through our Obakki Foundation development programs.
