ZAWADI
Gift in Knysna

Our first collection of African figurines stacked in a few boxes in the back corner of a large and empty warehouse suddenly looked more like an impulsive leap of faith based entirely on the quality of the items in the boxes. But before dust had time to gather on any box, the stock was on retail shelves and sold out promptly with customers immediately placing repeat orders. So began the ever growing demand for the range we called Zawadi, the Swahili word for gift. Today our premises cover two warehouses and over 1000 square meters as we continue to expand our range, with plans for a third warehouse in the near future. Now 20 years later we are a known brand, and making our mark in contemporary décor innovation that Africa is becoming increasingly renowned for the world over. The demand for African design among top contemporary décor styles across the globe has seen Zawadi both influence and respond to evolving modern trends. Our accent and collection pieces that offer a fusion of classic African culture with contemporary lines and finishes are beautifully at home in rustic, classic, modern and sophisticated interiors. Zawadi designs and develops its many ranges in Knysna, with innovation and quality being key words. We also consider custom designed items based on order volumes. Zawadi silver plated and bronze patina decor range of statement pieces has brought wild Africa into the modern interior using luxurious metals and finishes to meet the demand of discerning buyers with an eye for the exotic and the timeless. As the Zawadi selection continues to shape and meet evolving African trends in global interior design, we are expanding the choice of creative innovative selections of ceremonial tribal traditions. Our collection of ornamental home-ware in African themes has expanded our product range, offering a much greater appeal. Superior quality in all our products that we produce, and attention to the accuracy of detail in all that we do is our hallmark.
