Our Book is Coming!
We're thrilled to share this historical collection of artisan stories, objects, and styling tips with you in our first book, The African Decor Edit. It is a reflection of over a decade's worth of relationship building, ethical design, and over two years of book development in Africa. Meet our artisans in their homes and studios, and learn how to thoughtfully style their wares!
Our Origins and Our Why.
xN Studio is a multi-disciplinary design company founded in 2011 in Brooklyn and Kampala. We work with artisans to fortify existing networks among and between independent creatives in Africa, including Uganda, Ghana, and Morocco. The end result is a home decor lifestyle brand that resonates with a global audience. We are Black-owned.
Bathroom Reno: Rental Hacks
Would you believe it if we told you that this bathroom was a complete builder-grade, all-white bathroom before we got our hands on it? And what if we told you that we did it with all renter- and DIY-friendly upgrades! Our latest blog breaks down how.
What we do
INTERIOR DESIGN. Sanctuaries
xN Studio is happy to offer its interior decor services to our global and discerning clientele. Rooted in a practical and streamlined approach, our aesthetic is influenced by xN founder’s global travels and living in Brooklyn, NY for 12 years.
IMPACT. Mukono Foundation
In 2014, xN Studio forged a partnership with Suubi School, an orphanage school in Mukono District, just outside of Kampala, Uganda. Together, they provide scholarships and funds for construction and maintenance of educational facilities.
INSPIRE. Women We Admire
xN Studio founder, Nasozi Kakembo, sat down with Salt & Sundry's Amanda McClements for a special Women's Month event. They candidly discussed cultural appropriation in design, awareness around sourcing, and her decade-long journey into entrepreneurship.
Ethical. Eco-Friendly. Authentic.
All xN Studio products and collections are curated after intensive research, and often hands-on, on-the-ground product development.
