From its origins as a boutique home furnishings outpost in Johannesburg, South Africa Ngala Trading has grown to become the largest supplier of luxury handcrafted African furniture, lighting & décor across North America. Founded in 2016, Ngala Trading collaborates with artisans across Africa who produce beautiful home goods crafted from richly textured exotic materials, including leather, horn and ostrich feathers.
We believe one of the leading differentiators between luxury and mass market products is the amount of handwork done by the artisans at the source. Discerning customers recognize the craftsmanship in a rattan chair that has been woven by hand, a side table carved from a single section of tree trunk or a cement oak coffee table inlaid with more than 2,000 fragments of hatched ostrich egg. Every piece in our catalogue is crafted to the highest standards of quality and artistry. Ngala Trading products offer more than just beauty and distinction... they offer a story. A story about the material, the people who made the product, and the cultural meaning of an otherwise functional piece
