Nomads by nature, the boo team have travelled far and wide across the region in pursuit of inspiration, mastery of local design practices and— above all —to form profound connections based on deep cultural understanding. 

We draw inspiration from time-honoured traditions and the ever-changing world around us to create for consumers, collaborate with cultural institutions, and partner with businesses of all types that seek genuinely meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces.

At boo, every design story begins with an echo from the past, a spark of the present, and a vision for the future. Our creations are bridges between worlds. We imbue each piece with a soul that travels towards new cultural horizons.

Here, aesthetics intertwines with allegory. Spaces turn into sanctuaries and objects into oracles.

We believe in the power of stories to connect us across time and space. Our mission is to collaborate with cultural organisations to craft experiences that not only showcase but also celebrate the richness of our heritage. 

Through a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation—we create designs that are as meaningful as they are mesmerising.

Business

At boo, we're more than designers—we're natural narrators and creators of the extraordinary. Born from the fusion of traditional artistry and modern innovation, our mission is to craft experiences that resonate, connect, and inspire. 

With roots deeply embedded in multicultural influences, we craft places and products that celebrate the richness of diversity. We are driven by our passion for turning the ordinary into the unforgettable.
