African Heritage.
Modern Expression.
We create contemporary furniture that honors our African roots while embracing modern living. Each piece tells a story of cultural pride, innovative design, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Our Story
Yenok was born from a vision to celebrate Africa’s rich design heritage in the contemporary world. We believe that modern furniture should carry the soul of our ancestors while serving the needs of today’s lifestyle.
Founded in 2018, our journey began with a deep appreciation for traditional African craftsmanship and a desire to reinterpret these timeless techniques for modern homes. We draw inspiration from the geometric patterns of Kente cloth, the organic curves of traditional pottery, and the functional beauty of ancestral furniture.
Each piece we create bridges two worlds—honoring the wisdom of traditional African design while embracing contemporary functionality. Our furniture doesn’t just furnish spaces; it tells stories, celebrates culture, and connects people to their heritage in beautifully modern ways.
