Floral wing chairs and a navy sofa outside the Etana showroom.

Rooms and furniture, made together.

Etana Interiors is a Nairobi studio that makes furniture for the home it sits in. The piece is built for the room, then the room is finished around it.

When the room is a workplace

Homes lead the work. Offices are fitted the same way: a piece made for that wall, that floor, that room.
