The idea

Veronica, a self-taught designer has always had a dream to bring made in Africa unique creations to the international market. This dream became a reality in 2024 when she visited a local handicraft market in Nairobi, Kenya, where several artisans were showcasing their different craftmanships. Inspired by a chance encounter with several talented artisans in the market, Cimax’s business founding idea was born.

The story

Veronica started Cimax out of a desire to create a unique blend of Finnish design and Kenyan craftsmanship. Her journey began when she encountered talented artisans in a Nairobi market, igniting her passion.

Veronica is a Kenyan born, living and loving Finland as a second home for more than 20 years, she established the company with a vision to create job opportunities/revenue avenues to underprivileged young adults from slums in Kenya. Cimax is a heartfelt brand born from the initials of Veronica’s beloved children, a name that carries the love, strength and legacy of family at its core.

More than just a label, Cimax is a reflection of Veronica’s story, her roots, and her passion. Each design draws inspiration from rich artistic traditions of Finland and Kenya blending Nordic elegance with the vibrant soul of African creativity. This unique fusion brings to life pieces that are not only beautiful, but deeply meaningful, a celebration of culture, heritage, and the love that started it all.
