Design Tekura

Tekura is the hub for accent furniture, decor and a host of unique,” artistique” accessories. Drawing our inspiration from the many beautiful stories from Africa including the continent’s artistry and culture, we make a range of accent tables, contemporary stools and complementary pieces like bowls, vases, candle holders etc. reflecting true craftsmanship and the spirit of our local Artisans. Tekura also specializes in customized furniture.

Starting in 2000 with only two Artisans, Tekura was created merely from Josephine’s passion for things made by hand and with immeasurable support from her husband, Kweku. Today Tekura has a workshop, a showroom and a retail outlet in Accra (including several distributors) Tekura has a team of about 25 artisans.

We have exhibited across the globe and supply to boutiques and galleries in several parts of Europe, USA and Africa. Each unique piece is made from reforested wood found lying on the ground in the woodlands of Ghana which are transported to our workshop with the help of the local women and men in such communities.

Tekura is a FAMILY owned business which is currently being managed by Audrey; Josephine’s daughter.

Josephine Forson is the founder of Tekura.
