Lamu Décor is a Kenyan-based, woman-owned interior studio that brings bespoke furniture and home décor pieces to life through the hands of local artisans. Founded by Doris, the business has operated for three years, growing from a passion project into a thriving enterprise. January 2024 marked a major milestone with the opening of Lamu Décor’s first retail store, offering customers a curated experience to discover custom-made pieces that blend contemporary aesthetics with Kenya’s rich artisan traditions.
Doris’ vision for Lamu Décor stems from her admiration for the architecture and furniture-making skills she encountered during her travels to Lamu. Inspired by the island’s fusion of Arabic and Swahili cultures, she channels that essence into every piece, ensuring her furniture radiates a sense of peace, airiness, and craftsmanship. Lamu Décor not only provides beautifully crafted furniture but also empowers local artisans, making each purchase a meaningful investment in both quality and community.
