The name Akanni, meaning "first-born" or "first one" in Yoruba, embodies our vision of bringing African artistry to the forefront. Akanni offers beautifully crafted ceramics and homeware decor from different regions of Africa.

We collaborate with independent designers and skilled artisans to blend traditional techniques with contemporary designs, creating high quality handmade pieces. We prioritise sustainability by responsibly sourcing materials, whilst honouring tradition and ensuring that each piece is designed or selected with care.  

Our products are more than just decor, they are a celebration of culture, a connection to history, and a piece of art that infuses warmth and character into any space. We invite people from around the world to experience the beauty of African artistry, creating a connection between tradition and contemporary living.
