Art from Tanzania, curated in Ireland.
Binti was born from a simple idea: beautiful things carry stories.
Stories of where they come from, the people who make them, the traditions that inspire them and the places they eventually become part of.
Rooted in a love of Tanzania, Binti brings carefully selected art, craftsmanship and home pieces from Tanzania to Ireland, creating a bridge between Tanzanian creativity and contemporary Irish living.
Colour, craft and connection
We are inspired by the colours, textures, patterns and traditions found across Tanzania. From intricate beadwork and woven creations to distinctive handmade objects, our collections celebrate the skill and creativity of the people behind them.
A place in the home you love
Binti is about bringing a piece of Tanzania into the home you already love: a beaded piece on a modern dining table, a woven creation on a quiet shelf, or a handcrafted object alongside the things you have collected over the years.
We believe African craftsmanship belongs in these everyday spaces, as well as in museums, cultural centres and souvenir shops.
Curate. Connect. Celebrate.
We carefully consider where our pieces come from, who makes them and the stories they carry. We look for craftsmanship that feels authentic to Tanzania while also having a natural place in contemporary homes.
Some pieces may be familiar forms in Tanzania. Others may be more distinctive or developed specifically for Binti. What connects them is their relationship to Tanzanian craftsmanship, creativity and culture.
Handmade can be contemporary, elegant, understated or bold. Most importantly, it can belong in your home.
