Getting Picked up by retailers: Sacramento Street, San Francisco

I started this posting writing about the challenges of selling high-end furniture in today's economic climate. Then I realized that I, personally, don't need to slather on more bad news, so I changed my mind and decided to share the good news.

Today, Contemporary African Home got another win! Select accessories are at Wynne Alex a beautiful retail store on Sacramento street, in the heart of San Francisco's high-end retail district. In addition to beautiful and quite affordable furniture, accessories, pillows, notebooks, candles, etc. owner Wynne Alex offers interior design services and custom work. Besides, our product selection works, it just works.

The ceramic items shown here are hand thrown on a hand/foot controlled wheel and then fired in a wood-fired kiln with applications of Italian glazing. The artist, Samuel Eseka Ndjon lives in Cameroon where he comes from a family of potters. His training included time at the Mbalmayo Arts School where he mastered multiple styles of ceramic art and various glazing. Since these items are hand-made, no two works are exactly alike. Contact us for more information.


The Sacramento Street shopping district is located along the border of the very well-heeled neighborhoods of Presidio Heights and Pacific Heights, from Spruce Street to Broderick streets. The stores along Sacramento Street have something for everybody: designer clothing, consignment stores, home furnishings and accessories, carpets (check out Boga Carpets), children's clothing, toys & books, etc., interior designers, art galleries,.... The list goes on and on.

So, we're happy that while we're not yet selling furniture at the scale that we'd like, we're building great relationships and getting into great stores.
