Development cooperation programme

In Tanzania’s current furniture market, deforestation, rural poverty, and unsustainable imports are prevalent issues, while the local supply fails to meet the demands of the expanding urban middle class.In 2022 I worked as a furniture designer, employed by Leapfrog Projects, in a development cooperation project, PFP (Participatory Plantation Forestry Program) between the governments of Tanzania and Finland. The goal of the project is to create a local market for socially and environmentally responsible wooden furniture. The pieces are made by local makers from sustainably sourced materials. Designed for cost-effective transportation, the furniture is flat-packed, facilitating efficient movement from rural production areas to urban markets.
