A debut collection by Majeurs Holdings

Roots and Reverence

A three-piece limited-edition furniture collection. Each collection tells a unique story deeply rooted in African heritage.

From Maker to Designer

For over a decade, Majeurs Holdings has been the maker behind other people's visions. Furniture built with precision. Designs executed with integrity. Craft that never asked for credit.

Roots & Reverence is the first time we have asked a different question.

This debut collection, three pieces, each rooted in the depth of African heritage, marks the moment that manufacturing and design fully merge. It is not a departure from what Majeurs does. It is the fullest expression of it.

Designed by Demi Samande. Made in Nigeria. Limited to 200 units per piece.

"Design is not only about shaping materials. It is about shaping new possibilities."

— Demi Samande, Founder, Majeurs Holdings

The Keeper of the Stories

Mama Rainbow is not an endorser. She is the soul of this collection.

As a cultural anchor, beloved by generations, rooted in the living traditions of African storytelling, her presence in Roots & Reverence transforms these furniture pieces from objects into inheritance.

She carries what the furniture is trying to say. When a story is told by its keeper, it becomes sacred.

The king needed someone who would not leave.

In Yoruba tradition, the Abobaku was the king's companion, one bound by devotion so complete and so unwavering that they would journey alongside the king even into the final unknown. Not by force. By loyalty.

I thought about that for a long time when I designed this piece.

In the context of the chair design, this idea encapsulates the unyielding devotion we must have toward our craft.

What does it mean to be truly committed to something? Not committed when it is easy. Not committed when people are watching. Committed through every difficulty, every doubt, every quiet moment when no one would know if you walked away.

That is what this chaise lounge is asking of you. And it is what I ask of myself, every day, as a maker.

The Abobaku Chair is not designed to be sat in briefly. It is shaped to hold you, the long curve of it, the depth of it. It is the kind of presence in a room that you return to. A companion. An anchor.

"Just as the Abobaku would willingly offer their life to accompany the king in death, this chair represents the loyalty we must embrace as artisans. The promise to remain true through every challenge, every triumph, and until the very end."

Three legs. None of which is even. But all is standing.

The Dandan Chair is the piece that people look at twice.

Three legs and not one of them perfectly straight. The form tilts. The structure feels, at first glance, like it should not hold. And then you sit in it. And you understand.

I grew up watching Nigeria bend under pressure that should have broken it. I watched individuals, makers, mothers, builders absorb instability and keep moving. Not because the ground was level. Because they had learned to stand anyway.

I did not straighten the legs of this chair because I did not want to lie. Conditions are rarely perfect. Structures are rarely even. That does not mean they cannot hold you.

The Dandan Chair is not about perfect form. It is about what stands in spite of imperfect form. It is the Nigerian spirit made physical, visible, sittable, real.

"Despite the uneven and imperfect structure symbolized by the three distorted legs, the chair stands, highlighting the inevitability of progress and the unwavering spirit of the Nigerian people."

Some women do not just occupy a room. They hold it.

The Erelu Table began with my grandmother.

She knew things that were never written down. She held them in the way she moved through a room, in the way she organised a meal, in the way she listened when people spoke and remembered everything they said. She did not call herself a custodian of culture. She simply was one.

In Yoruba tradition, the Erelu is a title given to women of extraordinary social standing, women who serve as the bridge between the past and the future, who carry the culture forward not just by remembering it, but by living it.

I made a table because tables are where we gather. Where we eat and argue and celebrate and make decisions that shape everything that comes after. The table is the most communal object in any home. It belongs to everyone who sits around it and to all the people who have sat there before.

The circular form at the core of the Erelu Table is not decorative. Circles have no beginnings and no endings. They are continuous just like heritage, just like the women who carry it.

"Power tempered with grace. The Erelu Table speaks of dignity, continuity, and the integral role of women as custodians of tradition and heritage."
