Some things are worth carrying forward.
It started with a fascination for making.
Ba No Batwo grew from our curiosity about materials, making, and the stories held within things that are often overlooked.
What began with experimenting with discarded materials slowly became an exploration of craft, tradition, and everyday objects.
The intention has never been simply to make something new, but to gently ask: What can be remembered, reimagined, and carried forward?
Ba No Batwo
Ba — mother/grandmother.
Batwo — a small bundle of things carried close.
The name evokes the little things that travel with us through generations — things that may seem ordinary, but carry stories, memories and ways of living within them.
MADE BY HANDS
We value the irregularity, patience and character that come from making things by hand.
ROOTED IN PLACE
We look at materials, traditions and visual languages that belong to particular places and communities.
MADE TO LIVE WITH
Objects should not simply be displayed. They should become part of everyday life.
CARRIED FORWARD
Tradition stays alive when it is allowed to evolve.
A handmade object does not exist in isolation. It belongs somewhere. In a room. In someone’s hands. Around someone’s neck. Beside a photograph. At a table. In a memory. Our background in design, architecture and photography influences the way we see these relationships.
We look at objects as part of a larger story.

Take something with you.
A ritual. A memory. A photograph. Something handmade. Something that reminds you of someone or somewhere.
