Maison Intègre

Maison Intègre
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Maison Intègre was born with the ambition to promote excellent craftsmanship from Burkina Faso, “the country of honest men,” to which it owes its name.

The bronzesmiths and craftsmen of Maison Intègre work with dual purpose: To ensure the survival of ancestral lost-wax metalworking and to use this material artistry to uplift the welfare of their communities.

Based in Burkina Faso, the collaborative workshop facilitates cross-training of each artisan, ensuring that these Burkinabè traditions of modeling, molding, smelting, casting, and finishing carry on over generations.
