Lobi stool - Côte d'Ivoire

The Lobi stool is a type of traditional furniture originating from the Lobi, an ethnic group from Burkina Faso, but also present in certain regions of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. These wooden stools are an important element of Lobi culture and art, often associated with rituals and cultural symbols.

They are typically carved from hard wood, often achelle or baobab, which gives them great sturdiness.

They are traditionally used in homes for sitting, but they can also play a role in religious ceremonies or rituals. Some stools are even considered to have spiritual powers.

The Lobi stool represents not only a practical piece of furniture but also an emblem of the cultural and artistic identity of its people.

The dimensions of each stool vary given their artisanal carving:

Height: from 24 cm

Seat: from 24 cm

Weight: 3 - 5 kg
