KOOWAZA SPACE creates accessible interior design, curated art exhibitions, and community gathering experiences to families, schools, businesses, and institutions seeking spaces that respect everyone, in a creative and respectful environment with a calm and sincere voice.
Koowaza Space is a Kigali-based interior design studio founded by Magnifique Uwase that specializes in accessible design integrated with Japandi aesthetics, designing residential, institutional, and commercial spaces where accessibility is the foundation of elegant design rather than a compliance add-on.
The studio operates as part of an ecosystem that includes an art gallery providing income and visibility for artists with disability, and a café serving as a daily community hub for workshops and exhibitions—together proving that inclusive design is excellent design while creating economic opportunity for disabled artists and training designers who understand accessibility as essential to good design
Specializing in Japandi style (Japanese + Scandinavian), we create calm, functional, and elegant spaces that tell stories.
Unique handmade pieces created by disabled and refugee artists, each telling a story of resilience, culture, and beauty.
A cozy art café serving locally roasted premium coffee and pastries, where every wall showcases the work of emerging artists.
Merging Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth to create spaces that celebrate balance, light, and harmony
Every design element serves a purpose while enhancing beauty, proving utility and aesthetics are inseparable.
Authentic, sustainable materials connect people to nature and bring timeless character into every space.
Intentional, uncluttered design that fosters calm and clarity, where less truly becomes more.
Designs rooted in respect for cultural heritage, ensuring spaces feel genuine and contextually meaningful.
