After several years spent in Burkina Faso and West Africa, working for a French TV network, Ambre Jarno founded Maison Intègre in 2017. The brand’s name – which translates as House of the Honest- is a direct homage to the etymology of Burkina Faso, which means “land of the honest (incorruptible) men”. Set in Ouagadougou, the brand creates bronze objects based on the ancestral know-how of the lost wax technique, which are utterly contemporary, yet exquisitely traditional. Each piece, designed by renowned artists and designers, is produced in small series from recycled metals, and is handmade in collaboration with Burkinabe skilled bronzesmiths.
