ABOUT THE PRINT

Intricately beaded Yoruba chairs inspired the Flower Chain print. Traditionally the preserve of Kings and Queens, the chairs take up to three months to make, with each bead meticulously threaded and stitched directly onto the fabric that covers the wood frame. Our Flower Chain print captures the regal beauty of African royalty and honors traditional craftsmanship.

BEHIND THE BRAND

The 36-degree beaded tab

You will have noticed that all Ubuntu Life canvas and leather products bear our signature leather tab with a diagonal stitch. Here's why. Maai Mahiu, Kenya, home to our Ubuntu Life Maker Studio, is located at 1° South, 36° East. We embed that angle to honor where our products are made and the people who make them.

What's with the stitch?

Have you ever wondered what's with the stitch on every handcrafted Ubuntu Life product? The signature 36-degree stitch represents the topography of the Great Rift Valley, which is filled with cuts and scars through the Earth due to the area's tectonic shifts and geothermal activity.

Our colors

Our Ubuntu Life branding uses a signature blue and orange combination with strong ties to our Kenyan roots. Blue represents the common paint color used for homes in rural Kenyan communities like Maai Mahiu. The orange represents the deep orange-red shade of the Kenyan soil. This powerful combination symbolizes our deep connection to Kenya and the amazing people living there.
