Bahati Collective

Bahati Collective is an alternative furniture marketplace, founded by two designers. Our mission is to connect talented artisans with purpose-driven shoppers.

The brand is a cause-driven social enterprise that invests thoughtfully in strategies that reduce environmental impact and support economic empowerment, with a focus on supporting artisans in underserved economic regions, providing a refreshing alternative in a market flooded with cheap products, mass-produced in the far east. Our pieces are handcrafted by talented artisans with years of experience and a keen eye for detail. Using high-quality materials and fabrics, we specialise in contemporary furniture, manufacturing on demand with small batch factories and craftspeople.

The concept that a wonderful piece of furniture is an investment, is at the heart of the business. Each piece of furniture is meticulously constructed, patterned, hand-framed, and upholstered. We focus on mid century inspired, contemporary design that is ageless and enduring, resulting in a collection of timeless, modern classics.

We’ve collaborated with factories who we’ve established relationships with over the last 15 years and who’ve created pieces for the hospitality industry, from luxury hotels to lodges in the USA, Africa, the UK and Europe, and we’re now bringing the product to the American market in a meaningful way.

Bahati Collective places a premium on social responsibility and long-term sustainability. They work with artisans and designers in emerging economies, use local woods and sustainable, all-natural materials to produce visually stunning and environmentally sound furniture. Quality, design, and the notion that you can establish a business that benefits everyone—from artisan to customer—are the brand values.
