About us

Obakki is a purpose-led lifestyle brand that connects people through modern design. Everything we curate is handcrafted and produced in partnership with our network of world-class artisans—real people making products that bring meaning and connection to your home. At Obakki, our artisan partners are part of our extensive global family. We’re in touch on a regular basis and their quality of life—and ability to sustain themselves and their communities—will always be our top priority as a company. Over half of our artisan partners are supported by the Obakki Foundation - meaning we direct 100% of our net proceeds from their products back into what is needed for their community. To date, we have created over 4,000 water wells as well as many education, livelihood and health initiatives through our partnerships. From homewares created in partnership with like-minded co-ops to goods sourced from global artisans who share our ethos, every Obakki product reflects our values of sustainability, traceability and ethical production.
