She takes pride in the richness of her culture. Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in a family where she was encouraged to follow her artistic tendencies.
Her eye and talent for design took her from being a little girl who stood on chairs insisting on using cut-up old sheets as curtains all the way to university where she graduated with a Bachelors in Architecture and Urban Planning. Following her affinity for detailed art, her experience in the interior design business struck a chord with her passion for Ethiopian Culture.
She noticed that either cultural authenticity or design discipline were expected to be compromised upon. Her frustration grew with clothing fabrics being misused in interior design.
That’s how Balemuya Interior design and Homeware Manufacturing PLC and its brand child Meleya were born!
Meleya sets out to solve the problem Kalkidan faced as a cultural creative by ensuring artistic freedom to design a space without limitations and fear of finding quality product in accessories.
In addition to that, the versatility of cotton and the wide range of utilization it has in Ethiopian traditional fabrics are celebrated at Meleya.
Bringing contemporary touch while preserving traditional gems is Meleya’s mission and Kalkidan’s happy place.
