Cholinga means PURPOSE in Chichewa, the primary language spoken in Malawi, Africa. Made in Africa, by Africans, for everyone. Our aim is to foster a sense of PURPOSE that can prevail between creators and consumers. We create timeless artisanal items by maintaining the tradition of handwoven techniques and infusing them with a modern approach.
Cholinga leans in to slow, steady, sustainable production and growth. We feel as responsible for our planet as we do for people, and we only create products that are gentle on the natural environment. Cholinga furniture and decor will add a little soul and a slice of nature to your space.
“All things in nature are not only one with themselves, but also one with totality.” Eckhart Tolle
