MUKAKASA is a lifestyle brand rooted in AfriScandi design—blending Scandinavian minimalism with the rich craftsmanship of Uganda. Founded by sisters Christine Mukakasa and Elizabeth Okafor, the brand redefines modern luxury through culturally expressive, homeware crafted from natural Ugandan clay. MUKAKASA’s collections are a response to the need to enrich our living spaces, offering timeless pieces that are both functional and sustainable. Each object is a reflection of heritage, health, and harmony—made to be lived with, cherished, and passed on.

Set against the historical backdrop of the Lapidarium of Kings, MUKAKASA invites you to explore their all–natural, toxin–free ceramic drink ware collection, crafted from Uganda's natural clay. This captivating exhibition intertwines modern craftsmanship with timeless artistry, offering a unique experience adjacent to the Royal collection of sculptures and natural stone figures. At the DDcated design hub, discover the fusion of Danish design and Ugandan craftsmanship, where every piece tells a compelling story of sustainability, cultural heritage, and innovative artistry.
