Tju|ho - Thoughtful Ways of Making and Walking

A sandal. A community. A landscape. A way of life.

What does it take to truly walk in someone else's shoes?

Tju|ho – Thoughtful Ways of Making and Walking doesn't just document a design project — it traces the living thread between ancestral knowledge, the land, and the act of making itself. Centred on the recreation of the traditional hunting sandal of the San peoples of southern Africa, and rooted in life in and around Nhoma, Namibia, this is part design study, part oral history, part loveletter to a culture that has always known how to tread lightly.

Meet the communities whose ingenuity shaped it. Understand the knowledge that nearly disappeared. And discover why the most thoughtful design begins with listening.

Grounded enough to hold in your hands. Expansive enough to change how you move through the world.
