Swahili wood decor is a company that deals with interior and exterior designing of anything that involves woodwork. It was founded in December 2018 and is owned by Emmanuel Samuel. He was still a student when he began this line of work and now it has grown into a very well-known company.
In the beginning Swahili wood décor did not have a specific space for work and so they were mainly found through social media. That did not last for long because they now have headquarters in Mikocheni, Dar -Es -Salaam in Tanzania.
This company was started to help people get there vision to become real on what they needed. Different carpentry skills are used to create items, furniture and even buildings just as the customer wants. The act of making these visions come true was so as to save the people time to go around in shopping malls and stores looking for what they need. With making wood into items the certainty of durability is higher than the ones being bought from malls. Swahili wood décor is famous in making lamps, chandeliers, mirrors, wall clocks and many others items.
In less than a year, the company was able to work on big projects in and out of Dar es Salaam. They worked in Kahama, Mwanza and also Geita. They designed different buildings using wood as their main material such as bars, shops and others. Furthermore, their biggest project was done in Dar es Salaam where they designed the Instanbul Turkish Restaurant outside of Mlimani City complex mall. The restaurant was done in perfection.
This New Year, Swahili wood décor has captured the interest of customers from other countries. As the saying goes “the first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you are not going to stay where you are”, and the step this company took was to spread its wings to other countries starting with South Africa. With all the achievements it has got this last year, we can’t wait to see more of their designs in many other different settings.
