Who We Are
Varve is Kenya's first mobile framing studio — built for artists, students, and decor lovers who want to turn blank walls into bold stories. We make it easy to visualize your space, choose your style, and bring your art to life with custom frames and photoboards — all from your phone.
Our Mission
We exist to make art more visible, more personal, and more valuable — culturally and economically — starting with the communities often overlooked: student creatives, independent artists, and everyday storytellers.
Our Origin
It started with a problem: talented Kenyan creatives had no simple, affordable way to frame and showcase their work. Most were forced to settle for generic prints, poor service, or doing everything manually. So we built Varve — not just as a store, but as a platform where creative expression is frictionless, celebrated, and delivered to your door.
What We Do
We help you:
- Customize your space with premium framing and mounting tools
- Preview your layout before ordering with our visualization tool
- Order easily from your phone — we handle the rest
- Connect with fellow creatives through our growing community
Why It Matters
Kenya is rich in talent but underserved in infrastructure. Varve is here to change that — one frame, one artist, one room at a time. We're not just selling products — we're building a movement that honors personal stories and empowers local creators.
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." — Edgar Degas
Varve is where your art becomes seen.
