Welcome to African Modern

Our Oregon-based team showcases the talent of modern African makers through a beautiful collection of handmade home decor and gifts. We simplify sourcing artisan-crafted goods from nations across Africa by offering a $100 wholesale minimum order and prompt shipping from the Pacific Northwest.

We celebrate connection.

No creation that our team gets to handle carries that perfectly impersonal imprint of a factory line. Everything is warm, speaking of its maker's humanity through subtleties and singularities. Choosing handmade goods for your store promotes sustainable, long-term economic development, mobilizing skilled artisans across Africa to refine their craft and shape healthy communities.
