Wood Craft
Background
Each piece is made from locally sourced hardwoods, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design. The furniture is durable, aesthetic, and rooted in sustainable, small-scale production.
The workshop is run by the experienced local carpenters Osuman who craft beds, chairs, tables, and more directly from Ghanaian timber. With no fixed location, operations are limited – despite growing demand from both local and international buyers.
Project Goals
With the planned investment, we aim to:
• Build a showroom to display finished furniture
• Create a production warehouse for better workflow and quality control
• Develop export-ready collections for niche design retailers
• Increase employment and training opportunities for local artisans
Opportunities
• Tap into high-margin design and sustainable furniture markets in Europe
• Serve growing demand in Ghana’s urban middle class
• Establish a unique brand rooted in craftsmanship and origin
Risks
• Construction delays or budget overruns
• Export logistics and certification challenges
• Need for brand recognition in new markets
