Kate Kindersley is a passionate curator, collector, and creative with a deep commitment to sourcing one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces from Africa. With a profound appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, she champions artisans and craftsmen by supporting traditional handcrafted techniques and ensuring they meet the design needs of each project.

Kate now works closely with both residential and commercial clients worldwide, offering a bespoke procurement service tailored to their specific vision. Whether sourcing a curated selection of wall baskets for a private home or collaborating with designers to provide The Cane Collection for residential and commercial spaces, Kate Kindersley offers an exclusive gateway to Africa's crafts and skills. Through her expertise, she brings creativity and authenticity to every project and client.

In 2018, Kate founded Hadeda, curating a distinctive collection of cane pieces, beaded works, and woven creations. The brand quickly became synonymous with natural, handwoven craftsmanship. A standout moment was the introduction of the iconic Traditional Single Seater, the piece colloquially known as ‘the Hadeda chair’. The brand expanded its offering with exquisite hand-painted ceramics by renowned South African artists Michael Chandler and Gemma Orkin, as well as the highly sought-after collectible shells by Lucie de Moyencourt—collections that sold out overnight.

Hadeda’s presence grew further with the opening of its studio in Kingham, where it hosted exhibitions and welcomed clients. The collections were featured in prominent spaces, including a collaboration with Anthropologie in Chelsea, London, and the highly successful "Shop Flore" initiative, which brought together an esteemed group of female founded brands.

After years of making its mark in the retail world, Hadeda now evolves into an integral part of Kate's broader vision. Today, her focus is on fostering a closer connection between makers and customers, working intimately on each project and relishing the collaborative nature of the process.
