Wabbani is a décor company with a social mission to connect remote artisans with customers.
Our products are handmade, culturally-authentic add-ons that fit the exact specifications of IKEA furnishings.
We make a more beautiful world inside and outside: preserving threatened cultures and habitats, supporting artisan livelihoods, and sharing revenue with the maker communities that share their arts with us.
Our goal is to serve as a global platform connecting remote/rural artisans with customers everywhere.
