A bare concrete balcony to a little green oasis! Four years ago, we saw possibilities in an overlooked balcony. Today, it’s our green retreat AND outdoor photography studio, showcasing beautiful products made from overlooked materials. At MitiMeth, we only see possibilities.

Command the Room. There’s just something about white orchids. Quiet. Elegant. Almost sculptural. This handmade water hyacinth cowrie planter by MitiMeth had to take it all in. #white #orchid

One conversation in 2024 → a collaboration → Milan, Lagos, Ibadan, Napoli and now this. Proud that Sara Bologna x MitiMeth is a 2026 AWAW Environmental Art Grant recipient, supported by New York Foundation for the Arts @nyfacurrent What a journey. And we’re still going.

The cutting table left us offcuts. We saw bag handle possibilities 💚 Textile remnants, reimagined as colourful handles for our handwoven water hyacinth totes. #circulardesign #MitiMethMade #bags #natural #waterhyacinth

Woven in Idah. Embroidered in Ibadan. Inspired by the body markings of the women who wove them. From hand to hand. From place to place. Woven stories. Woven textiles 💚 #WaterHyacinth #Handwoven #MadeInNigeria #MitiMeth

What can this material become? At one stage, this MitiMeth piece looked almost alive. A jellyfish? A sea anemone? Something off the ocean floor? 🪼 Then the weaving continued, row by row. Sometimes the most fascinating part of making is the becoming. #MitiMeth #MadeInNigeria

Made years ago for the Facebook @Meta Lagos office. Used. Stored. Unrolled again. Still in remarkably good condition. One of the most sustainable things we do at MitiMeth is simply to make things that LAST. #MitiMeth #handmade #rugs #waterhyacinth

Waste is often a design brief in disguise. These recovered wooden pillars had served one purpose already. At MitiMeth, we reimagined them as a functional shelving unit for a restaurant interior. Recover. Reuse. Redesign. Revalue. #CircularDesign #AdaptiveReuse #MitiMeth

Circular innovation has deep roots in #Ibadan . Our 2015 CNN feature took MitiMeth’s water hyacinth story from Oyo State to a global audience. A decade later, we remain proudly rooted here, transforming overlooked materials into new possibilities. edition.cnn.com/2015/01/02/w…

Woven wonders from water weeds and waste | CNN

Water hyacinths grow in abundance in many Nigerian waterways. Perhaps a nuisance to locals, but one Nigerian entrepreneur saw a business opportunity.
