Our heritage
Born from the Earth
From the hills of Kisii, Kenya — a tradition of stone carving passed down through generations.
Our story
Soapstone has been carved in Kenya for centuries
The Kisii region of western Kenya sits on one of the world's richest deposits of soapstone — a soft, workable mineral that hardens over time. For generations, artisans have shaped this stone into objects of beauty, utility, and meaning.
Soapstone Interiors was founded to bring this tradition into contemporary spaces — honouring the craft while designing for modern interiors around the world.
The Craft
Sourcing
Raw soapstone is quarried from the Kisii hills, selected by colour and grain.
Carving
Each piece is hand-carved using traditional tools — chisels, rasps, and files.
Sanding
Surfaces are refined through progressive sanding to achieve the desired texture.
Finishing
Pieces are polished, dyed, or left natural depending on the design intent.
