Bokja Designs

While away this weekend, I was flipping through the December issue of UK’s House & Garden, and came across two chairs which I can’t stop thinking about. Turns out that they’re both designed by the same team known as Bokja. ReubenMiller says, “They’re a Beirut-based design company, founded by Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibri, with the goal to mix the handicraft of local skilled artisans with the sleek lines of modernist furniture”.

Just take a look a these absolutely exquisite Bokja pieces below…

Don’t know if I’ve ever been so in love with any furniture before. This can only make me wonder whether there are any designers out there making contemporary furniture using bold ethnic African handicraft. And if there is not, why not?

  • These are just gorgeous Sarah!! I've looked around a bit and the only similar products I could find was the pearl range from Casamento. Those are very understated though. I see you can supply your own fabric and they can make up a piece for you. Mmmm, if you do find something similar or have something made, I'd love to see it!
  • I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye out, Nicolette. And am desperate
    to have something similar made! Will keep you posted if I do!
