The Story of our Packaging Design
The Design of our Packaging was inspired by the beautiful Floor at "la case a palabre" made by rural artisans In Dalaba, a beautiful City located in the mountains, in the north of Guinea-West Africa. This beautiful floor, inside "La Case a Palabre" meaning " The Place where important topics were discussed", was Built in 1936 by Rural Illiterate artisans under colonial occupacy. Made using Mud only! Unfortunately today, this place is falling off, and Our Founder, as an Art lover, and a designer, wanted to honor and showcase this Amazing floor detail by stamping it on the Packaging of our products. Our goal is to show and honor this exceptional work of Timeless Art, A true Masterpiece! When you buy a candle from Maison Africanist, you are bringing into your place an African Art piece, And together, we are commited to donate 1$ for each candle purchased, to finance the establishment of a strategy rehabilitating and preserving this Historical monument, Creating an eco-system helping locals to be able to benefit from it.
