Ousmane Mbaye is a Senegalese designer and decorator.

A former refrigeration technician – a profession he has held for 17 years – he took advantage of this know-how (or “savoir fer”, according to him) to create contemporary furniture from recycled materials (drum lids). Using galvanized metal water pipes, he nourishes a real passion for metal and likes starting from the raw material. By folding the metal according to his inspiration, he creates and assemble the material to produce a table, a tray or a lamp.
