Design Story

Once a traditional mancala board, the Makala tealight holder has been thoughtfully repurposed into a striking decorative piece. The original carved form, designed for the ancient game played across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, has been preserved, offering both character and historical charm. Now reimagined as a tealight holder, it provides a unique way to bring warmth and cultural narrative into the home.

How it's Made

Crafted from reclaimed antique wood, each holder retains the original indentations and patina of the game board. The surface is carefully cleaned and refined while preserving its aged finish, giving new life to an old form through adaptive reuse. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that blends history, design, and purpose.
