Uhuru Design focuses on delivering design-forward contract furniture solutions to mission-driven clients across office, co-working, architecture & interior design, and hospitality sectors. With roots in bespoke residential and high-end commercial furniture, the Brooklyn-founded New American design firm has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of modern spaces—including the rise of startup culture and the “resimmercial” workplace aesthetic.
Founded in 2004, Uhuru first gained recognition for its sustainable, narrative-driven approach—transforming reclaimed and found materials into thoughtfully crafted collections. This work led to acquisitions by institutions including the Smithsonian and the Brooklyn Museum, positioning Uhuru at the forefront of New American Design and helping define the iconic “Brooklyn” aesthetic.
