ReceptionFor the highest hotel in Africa we collaborated with ItyoPikal for the artistic paintings, Salem's to produce the traditional baskets we designed, TrioCraft to weave the pillow covers we designed, and SAM Furniture & crafting to build the shop shelves. BedroomsThe lodge has a total of 28 bedrooms, we wanted to use only Ethiopian wood and bamboo (eucalyptus, kereru, wanza, and konso woods) to furnish them.

For every fabric and carpet, we worked in collaboration with TrioCrafft and Salem.
