Céjoli is above all a story of workshop, or rather workshop s

A group of craftsmen where creations and achievements are mixed;

An association of professionals able to make the most of downgraded materials, and who manufacture with very few means objects that can compete with those produced by big companies;

Talented people reshaping materials discarded by a world that consumes and no longer repairs,

Men and women who perpetuate timeless know- how with courage and self-sacrifice;

Céjoli Céjoli has been offering, for more than twenty years, through its collections, everyday objects which paradoxically should be at least as much looked at as used:

- Lamps that should be lit,

- Frames that could be framed,

-Chairs that hide under pretty colors (and as best they can) the origin of their materials and the labor force that gave birth to them;

-Useful wooden objects, small works of art by sculptors

-Textiles with abstract patterns from ancestral know-how

- Found objects, encountered objects, gleaned objects

Objects that would like to be understood

Someone wrote a day that:

“Men can only express themselves through forms imprinted in matter”;

It is very beautiful, and we could use this sentence as a definition of our conception of work or of the object;

But as the recycling before being a snobbery was rather based on an economic necessity, we finally preferred the following one which also sums up our approach very well and makes us laugh:

IN AFRICA WE TRUST

Understands who can understands who wants..
