About

TIMUNTU was born from the passion of three sisters from Congo-Brazzaville – Aline, Inès, and Marcelle – for design and unique objects. Together, they embark on a wonderful adventure with the opening of this new concept store, which showcases the African art of living. Their ambition?
Promoting the richness and diversity of artisanal skills in a new light, revealing the creative force that spans the entire continent—from West Africa to the North, from East to South. In the heart of Paris's trendy rue Bachaumont district, this 110 m² space unveils a curated selection of decorative objects, tableware, furniture, textiles, basketwork, clothing, and books.
Each handmade piece bridges cultures and tells a story that resonates universally. TIMUNTU also serves as a vibrant cultural space, featuring a bookstore and numerous events: exhibitions, performances, readings, and talks, where Afro-descendant painters, photographers, sculptors, and dancers will freely express themselves. An invitation to revive the forgotten stories of the African continent.
