OUR STORY
Hi, I’m Ola, the founder of Zuri House.
The journey to creating Zuri House began long before the brand officially launched. I learned to knit when I was seven, and ever since, I’ve been drawn to the rhythm of making things by hand. Later in life, I fell in love with Scandinavian design - the simplicity, natural materials, and quiet beauty. It felt like home to me.
In 2014, I moved to the UK with my growing family. Between settling into a new country and welcoming our second child, life was full of change - and creativity. While setting up our new home, I started making pieces that were not only beautiful but also practical - things that brought warmth and calm into our everyday routines. I focused on natural, eco-friendly materials that were safe for family life and made to last.
Before long, our home filled with hand crafted baskets, pouffes, cushions, and rugs made from thick organic cotton cord. That was the beginning of Zuri House - a collection born from a love of handmade craft and thoughtful design.
Today, Zuri House is a close-knit team of talented makers working across different countries but united under one creative roof. Each person brings their own skill, passion, and dedication to what we do. Despite the distance, we work closely together, bound by shared values and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
These days, I focus on designing new collections and collaborating with interior designers and like-minded brands to create custom pieces that bring personality, warmth, and integrity to beautifully curated spaces. Every item we produce is made with care, intention, and a genuine love for the small details that make a house feel like home.
