Namji statuettes, native to the Namji region of northern Cameroon, are much more than just decorative objects. Each statuette is meticulously hand-carved by artisans using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. These unique works of art are adorned with pearls, shells, and plant fibers, symbolizing the fertility, protection, and cultural richness of the region.

Thesetraditional Cameroonian pôupées were originally intended for the play of little girls who took care of them, dressed them and fed them by meticulously taking up the gestures of their mother. They were also used to promote pregnancy for women with fertility problems: the statuette was then used as a surrogate child.

Today, these stylized sculptures have become trendy decorative objects.

Place your Namji doll on a console, shelf, or in a niche. With its expressive face, bright red dress and natural shell headdress, your statuette will add charm and authenticity to your ethnic universe !

Coco Papaya presents Villa Métisse, its new interior and exterior decoration brand, created in 2023.

Natural materials and craftsmanship are the 2 main sources of inspiration for the brand to design its exclusive range of decorative objects with cosmopolitan accents.

In perfect harmony with current trends such as ethnic chic style or Bohemian atmospheres, Villa Métisse creations are designed so that decoration rhymes with serenity.

Basketry, different species of wood, bamboo, mother-of-pearl, brass, and many other noble materials are in the spotlight in the collections. But the real stars are the craftsmen who work them! Their virtuosity and the unlimited creativity that animate them, give birth to rare and authentic objects that bring a real extra soul.

In the era of all industrial, the handmade is gaining nobility. In our modern and hyper-connected interiors, inviting nature and the objects inspired by it is like taking a breath of fresh air...

Here a little wall decoration, then there, a pretty sculpture or an unusual object way "cabinet of curiosities"... No need to accumulate, bet on quality and authenticity to preserve the style and originality of your decoration.

Decoration can be thought of as a source of well-being and emotional release. Natural and warm colors, patterns inspired by ancestral traditions, and original creations that tell a story: this is the proposal of the Villa Métisse brand to make your living space an inspiring and soothing place.
