Jumble necklaces: Recycled glass beads and African print

GhanArts uses a lot of recycled and up-cycled items to create their ranges of products. For this collection of Jumble necklaces, we use traditional Krobo beads, made of recycled glass, and scrap material remaining after filling clients' orders or cutting items for our baby clothes range.

We designed the brass accents and asked Mr Nortey, a brass-smith based in Kumasi (Ashanti region, Ghana), to produce them for us. As with all our items, everything is sewn, strung, and assembled in our Accra workshop. These necklaces are available for international sale on www.ghanarts.com.


GhanArts utilise beaucoup de matériaux recyclés ou détournés pour créer ses différentes gammes de produits. Pour cette collection de collier Méli-mélo, nous combinons des perles traditionnelles de l'ethnie Krobo, faites de verre recyclé, avec des restes de tissu de commandes de nos clients ou provenant de la coupe de notre gamme de vêtements pour bébés et enfants.

Nous avons dessiné les pièces en laiton puis avons demandé à Monsieur Nortey, qui travaille le laiton à Kumasi, dans la région Ashanti du Ghana, de les reproduire pour nous. Comme pour tous nos articles, tout est cousu, enfilé et assemblé dans notre atelier d'Accra. Ces colliers peuvent être commandés sur notre site www.ghanarts.com et livrés partout dans le monde.

Kamo stool

Ottoman, side table, stool... Definitely not your average African kitchen stool anymore! All our Kamo-flaged items receive 5 coats of protective varnish, making them dust-proof and easy to maintain.



Repose-pieds, bout de canapé, siège... On est loin du banal petit tabouret de cuisine! tous nos articles Kamo-flés sont protégés par 5 couches de vernis et sont à la fois durables et faciles à entretenir.

Backstage GhanArts

We are about to embark on a journey in the depths of our creative process. This blog will give you a unique glimpse into what we do, how we do it, and what inspires us.

Grab a seat! why not opt for this Kamo chequered stool, which you can also use as an end-table, a stand for your indoor potted plants, a step to reach a shelf that is too high for you or your children?


All the items in our Kamo range are made of wood and covered with 100% cotton African print, protected with multiple coats of clear varnish to make them dust- and stain-resistant.
