In a small workshop on the edge of a remote Karoo town, a lone artist experimented with the natural materials found in the vast expanses around him. Now there is a company exporting to fifteen countries, with four AVOOVA shops in South Africa. The eye-catching, creamy veneers created with thousands of shards of ostrich eggshell – AVOOVA’s hallmark – are testament to an artist’s curiosity and the beauty of nature. ‘From shards of shell to Little African Luxuries – See how they are made’ WATCH NOW
Born of the African ostrich, this ancient material has been transformed by the company’s artisans into a luxurious decorative finish that surpasses organic veneers from around the world for its beauty and functionality. Everything from bespoke tables to bowls and mirrors are lovingly handcrafted by a team of skilled designers and artisans, who can work the shards of shell into a myriad of textures, colours and patterns.
Committed to keeping production in the Karoo where it started, AVOOVA sources eggshell from reputable, local ostrich breeders, up-cycling from hatched or unfertilised eggs; a process that is both sustainable and environmentally-friendly.
