CHIC MEDITERRANEAN ARTISAN PIECES CURATED FOR YOUR UNIQUE SPACE

Tanit Home + Lifestyle is an online home décor brand featuring beautiful hand-picked, hand-made products for your space from Tunisia and abroad.

In today’s fast-paced and changing world, we encourage people to explore history through traditional design which captures the lives and tells stories of their creators. There is a beauty in techniques that have been refined over hundreds of years with little influence from high tech tools and mass manufacturing. Our effort is to preserve these traditions and crafts while promoting and supporting the artisans that create these unique goods.

We combine our love of exotic places with our passion for great design. Our look is casual and coastal, relaxed yet refined. Our eclectic, inspired designs blend different cultural influences with modern lines. We love spaces that feel put together, yet livable – well-traveled with a personal point of view.

Hand-made. Hand-picked.

Tanit home décor collections are carefully curated and brought to you directly from their source of origin in Tunisia. These artisan skills have been passed down from generation to generation and they are a part of the history of a place and a culture. Through traditional craft techniques, they reflect the cultural heritage of a community.

We offer one-of-a-kind, handmade, limited-edition pieces for any space.

ABOUT TANIT

It all began with love…

Tunisia is where the Tanit Home + Lifestyle story begins… My partner of Tunisian descent and our frequent visits to this region created the perfect recipe to bring Tunisia’s rich artisan culture to the US. This African country is our inspiration for all things beautiful and exotic. The heritage and history from this ancient place lends itself to our namesake. The hardworking nature and passion of these humble artisans pouring their hearts into their crafts gave us inspiration. We invite you to go on this journey to explore unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that we have curated on our travels to this sun-soaked destination situated on the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean.

Tunisia is where the Tanit Home + Lifestyle story begins…

My name is Dana Klein. I am a creative and lover of all things interior and exterior design inspired. After 14 years in the corporate world, I had a strong desire to start my own brand and combine my business know-how with a design eye. The goal: bring authentic, handmade artisan goods into modern spaces while making a positive social impact.

Together with my boyfriend Cherif, we started the Tanit brand as a way to bring unique, handcrafted treasures from Tunisia to our online shop based in Washington, D.C. This North African country is where the Tanit Home + Lifestyle story begins and is our inspiration for all things beautiful and exotic. The heritage and history from this ancient place lends itself to our namesake. We invite you to go on this journey to explore unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that we have curated on our travels to this sun-soaked destination situated on the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean. Prepare to be surprised and delighted!
