It is all about beautiful and meaningful design. Uniqwa represents uniqueness with a difference, defined by simplicity and function combined with art.

Committed to cottage industry practices, we offer quality, thoughtful and unique handmade furniture, wall décor, lighting, and outdoor furniture. We are passionate about being involved in the cottage industry and embrace the ancient practice and labour-intensive process of using traditional tools and handcraftsmanship. 

The cottage industry represents everything Uniqwa pieces embody; uniqueness, handmade qualities, artistic value and traditional characteristics. 

When designing a piece, we work with linking cottage industries together; we find artisans that for generations have specialised in one craft and then pair them with another whose artistry completes the design. Some of our pieces travel on dirt roads from village to village before completion.

We support cottage industries to work together to maintain their independence while joining forces on collective efforts such as building business networks and sharing resources. Our commitment to small-scale manufacturing operations in remote villages plays a significant role in the villages' economies. 

The modern world's instant gratification need has little room in the cottage industry, where time and effort are vital aspects of the process. Uniqwa rejects the mass-production of furniture. Instead, we choose the more labour and time-intensive pathway that supports the cottage industry.

Uniqwa embraces a market that seeks out original pieces telling its own stories reflected by uniqueness, traditional artistry and authenticity.
