Aketekete

Barcelona, Spain

"If it’s not by hand, it’s not aketekete".

Aketekete designs and creates high-quality woven baskets with age-old techniques by supporting local artisan communities from Ghana to make them. They value connecting with creatives to produce modern pieces using traditional techniques while maintaining ethical and fair processes.

Aketekete is an ode to the past and to never being forgotten. A connection to nature and its forms. To celebrate culture, origins and stories otherwise lost.

Their collection explores the creation of objects that allow you to see, feel, carry, and value part of a place and its people. They admire the beauty of uniqueness, irregularities, and the grace of craft - the expression of themselves by creating pieces they dream of.
