OUR STORY
Where fine art meets water
Tade and Co was born from one simple belief: beauty and function belong together, and bringing them into your space should never come with chaos.
How it started
It started on a swimming pool project. Our founder was part of the team brought in to build it, and while the work went on, he watched the mess pile up around the client’s home: the digging, the dust, the disruption that seemed to go on forever.
He kept thinking the same thing. All of this could be avoided if the pool was built somewhere else and brought in only for installation.
That thought stayed with him. It became a seed, and that seed became Tade and Co.
An artist’s eye for detail
Our founder’s background is in fine arts. He understands the intricacies of detailing and how to merge beauty with functionality, so a piece doesn’t just sit in a space; it brings the whole space to life.
That same eye gave birth to our fountains. Minimal in form, intricate in detail, and designed to become the centrepiece of wherever they stand.
Why our reefs look different
He has always been fascinated by aqua decor. But everywhere he looked, the same mass-produced pieces made every tank look like every other tank.
So he set out to do something harder: replicate what real aquatic life looks like and bring it above the ground, into any space. That’s how our reef colonies and reef decor were born, each piece made by us to capture the depth and colour of a living reef.
Our speciality is freshwater tanks, and we’ve found a way to bring the beauty of saltwater reef life into freshwater colonies. That work has gone on to produce one of the biggest and brightest freshwater tanks in Lagos.
What we stand for
Art in every piece
Every fountain, tank, reef and pool is designed with the same care an artist gives a canvas.
Beauty that works
What we create has to look stunning and run smoothly for years. One without the other isn’t good enough for us.
Respect for your space
We build off-site wherever we can, so your home or business sees less mess and less disruption. You get the finished piece and not the chaos.
