About us

Hi! I am Debbie, the owner and creator of Cholinga. A passion project that has humbly evolved with the support of like-minded consumers who appreciate what Cholinga stands for and the skilled artisans who bring my products to life.

What we do

Purpose, empowerment and passion are the values that underpin Cholinga. We create beautiful pieces that are imbued with both sentiment and skill. Using natural materials that are skilfully woven around sustainably-grown wood, our functional pieces bring warmth, nature and texture to your home.

Why we do it

Africa and her people are bursting at the seams with skills, creativity and dexterity. There is great honour in hand-crafting artisanal pieces of beauty and timeless style. We believe in creating products that carry a lineage of skill and learning, as well as a story. Africa has abundant talent – Cholinga harnesses this talent and points it in the direction of opportunity.

How we do it

Our pieces are not mass produced, they are all hand-made to order. That way, you can be assured that love, care and diligence has been invested in creating the piece that will live in your home.
