About Us

About Us .Roots Décor Co.
Welcome to Roots Décor Co, where tradition meets craftsmanship in the heart of West Africa. For generations, our skilled artisans have been crafting exquisite hand-carved furniture, preserving the rich cultural heritage and timeless artistry of the region.

At Roots Décor Co., we take pride in our commitment to craftsmanship that transcends time. Our artisans inherit and master traditional carving techniques, ensuring that each piece of furniture carries not only the beauty of African mahogany but also the legacy of generations past. The art of carving is more than a skill; it's a connection to our roots and a celebration of the stories embedded in every detail.

We believe in the importance of preserving historical skills that define our cultural identity. Through meticulous craftsmanship, we aim to safeguard the authenticity and integrity of West African artistry. Every stroke of the carving knife tells a story, and every piece of furniture is a testament to the enduring legacy of our craft.

At the core of Roots Décor Co. is a commitment to empowering local communities. By providing sustainable employment opportunities, we contribute to the economic development of our region. Our workshop is not just a place of work; it's a community where artisans thrive, passing down their skills and passion to the next wave of creators.

We understand the importance of responsible practices in the creation of our hand-carved furniture. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that we source our materials ethically, contributing to the preservation of the natural resources that make our craft possible. 90% of the wood we use is mahogany sourced from colonial houses, which carries a rich and historical significance. Reclaimed wood from colonial houses retains the marks, knots, and imperfections that tell a story of its previous use. These characteristics add charm and authenticity to hand-carved furniture, creating a sense of warmth and heritage.
Finally, we understand hand-carved furniture can be more expensive to produce compared to mass-produced alternatives. Roots Décor Co. creates a balance between maintaining craftsmanship standards and addressing cost concerns.

We hope you appreciate our pieces as much as we love creating them for your home!
