Tackussanu Senegal
Hometown: New York
Based in: Senegal
Tackussanu Senegal’s vision centers around the possibility of creating a world through radical imagination, generational craftsmanship, and sophisticated design. We believe that sophistication is measured at the intentional and beautiful intersections of artisanal advocacy, fair & ethical global exchange, and ecologically responsible design operations. Our fundamental belief is that complexity extends beyond design decisions & functional form and instead, opens the sarcophagus of luxury, commodity, and marketplace. We are determined to create and capture treasures in every space.

More About Tackussanu Senegal
What inspires you?
We are inspired by the creative mastery of our artisan partners & their desire to transform the physical conditions of their materials. We are propelled forward by the dream of a modern marketplace that positions the artist & her craft as the subject of transaction. We understand that timeless & artistic expression is created out of luxe necessity.
Describe your creative process.
Each of our products are a resultant of close adherence to ecological demands and undergoes 5-30 days of natural treatment/construction. By leveraging hierochloe odorata, organic leather, and salvage plastic, our creative process begins through collaboration with our all-female team of weavers, farmers, and leather artisans.
