Kito is a small studio in Nairobi that makes fewer, better objects. We design them, we build them, and we stand behind them for as long as they’re in your home.

How we begun

How we begun
Kito started with a simple belief: a good object should last longer than the trend that inspired it. We began with a single workbench and a small group of makers who cared more about joinery than speed. Today we’re still small on purpose. Each piece passes through the same few hands, from the first sketch to the final coat of oil.
