| Our Lead Designer |
| Where it all began: Actually, it all began in the early 60's when our lead designer and her older brother built a tree house in their front yard in Ibadan, Nigeria. But that was long ago...... Later,in 1997 from her dining table, in Accra Ghana, designs were sold by marketing sketches from her sketchbook. Prototypes were built by a road side carpenter, and the range developed until, the company was able to employ its own team of skilled carpenters. Our first product exhibition in Ghana, was at a trade fair for Horticulture which took place at the Trade Fair Site in La, Accra , Ghana. We exhibited a range of products including hand painted ceramic vases, dried natural flower arrangements, Interior Design sketches with before and after photos of Champs Sports bar, as well as quality door locks and handles. What drew the most attention was a little play house-a bungalow. Many parents left their children with us and went round the exhibition. |
