Wakeur Design

Senegal (EN, FR)

wakeur design is a group of craftsmen and designers, with various skills. We experiment with all materials and have projects and a willingness to work in up-cycling. The composition of the group, including a stylist, a woodcarver, a shoemaker etc, allows us to have a great diversity in the proposal. We already have some upcycling products in our collection but we intend to develop more.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
