Collection: S.H.O Collection Hamed Ouattara

Hamed Ouattara is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, born in 1971 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. For more than thirty years, his practice has transformed recycled industrial barrels into sculptural furniture and design objects of international collectible value.

His works are in the permanent collections of five major institutions: the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Vitra Design Museum (Germany), the Brooklyn Museum (New York), and the Denver Art Museum (USA). He is exclusively represented by Friedman Benda Gallery in New York and was selected for Homo Faber 2026 in Venice (Fondazione Giorgio Cini, September 2026).

His studio, SHO, based between Ouagadougou and Atlanta, operates on an artisanal training and collaboration model with around fifteen craftspeople. Each piece is handcrafted from recycled industrial materials and is in dialogue with the medieval architecture of the Sahel — Timbuktu, Djenné, and Bobo-Dioulasso.
