Beautiful Art You Can Use.
We are based in Houston, Texas and Malawi, Africa. We have design workshops in both locations, where all of our artwork is created. Contour started with one goal- to create beautiful art that can actually be used. The basis of our concept is that art should not just be seen, it should be experienced. Art should be celebrated. It should be used as a way to enrich our lives and be connected to our memories.
We believe in sustainability as much as we believe in design. Through our partnership with Root to Fruit, we are pledging to plant up to 20 trees per item sold across the country of Malawi. Two of our partners live in Houston and one partner lives in Lilongwe, Malawi. The Houston partners travel to Africa frequently to facilitate outreach and manage operations for Contour. We collaborate with Malawian artisans to design and build one of a kind, handcrafted pieces of functional art.

Owner
We believe in designing and building in a sustainable way, while reinvesting back into the community from which we source trees. Exotic wood is our canvas. Building a sustainable community is our pledge.
