bead curtains
from hand‑strung recycled glass beads
Turn any doorway or window into a shimmering wall of colour and light. Each curtain is hand‑strung from chunky recycled glass beads, made in our Kitengela studios and full of playful, imperfect charm.
• Custom sizes and colour palettes to fit your space perfectly
• Artisan‑made in Kenya, designed to sparkle and catch the sun
• Built to last - heavy, tactile, and satisfyingly solid
Functional, sculptural, and endlessly adaptable — our bead curtains are not just dividers, they’re living jewellery for your home.
The classic bowl - a product with more uses throughout the home or restaurant than can be listed here. And ours are also elegant just by themselves.

We make a lot of stuff, 1000's of different items. 90% of it we can't show here, as it would overwhelm you (& us). But what we can do is show you what's newly out of the oven, or things that may be out of our usual remit.
Contact info@kitengela.glass for more information or if you don't see something you like, or to check what's in stock at the studio or our shops.
The now iconic 'garden jewellery' adorns discerning houses & gardens around the globe - bursts of coloured glass catching sunlight and giving glassy joy to many people. Works a bit like Lego - mix and match whatever combinations you want - up to 7 metres long.
Kitengela Glass love the jua-kali (hot sun) ethos - and are used to keeping stuff outside, which has created an entire range of sculpture and adornment for exterior applications.

if it was pretty that would be nice,
& then make it all out of recycled material?
No problem.
We did the work for you.
There’s blowing, and there’s casting.
We make things like salt and butter dishes by dripping molten glass into molds on our steel table (marver). Also toothpick holders. Or wasabi or soap dishes.
Hand pressed to get a dimple or recess, and voilà - a chunky piece for everyday use.
Also great for paperweights, trophies & giveaway slabs.

Our funky fencing dudu collection.
A Curated Collection of Flat, Fire & Form
The art gallery at Kitengela Glass. A veritable treasure trove of Kitengelia and contemporary African art and sculpture.
This evolving collection showcases one-of-a-kind pieces born from fire, friendship, and fearless experimentation.
Rooted in the early ‘Bushglass’ tradition, it now features rare works by visiting artists like Emil Kováč, Ondrej Novotny, Marek Bartko, Christian Maas, and Tums Yeshim, alongside collaborative creations and otheir sculptural results of Anselm’s workshops.
Expect the unexpected — each piece is a conversation.
‘Mbao’ means wood in Swahili. This is the result of an exciting collaboration between Refined Niche woodworkers & Kitengela Hot Glass. We’ve been looking for a partner in carpentry for a while, and this is a very promising result.
Lovingly made from recycled Russian pine with hand made glass details from scrap windows..
All our products are individually hand made from recycled glass in small batches, and could differ slightly from the photo in colour.
