A true tribal art object, it bears the marks of time and of traditional use.
Originally a utilitarian item, used as a personal seat in traditional societies — often reserved for a chief, an elder, or a figure of authority.
In some cultures, the stool is also regarded as a symbolic object, linked to the earth, to identity, or to status.
Each detail is unique: the texture, the irregularities, the patina — everything tells the story of the artisan’s hand and the memory of a people. The lack of decoration enhances its functional beauty.
It embodies an aesthetic of the necessary, where every line follows from use and every form from a tradition.
Ideal for a bohemian, wabi-sabi interior or a private collection.
Rooted in a long cultural tradition, this object was used by elders or initiates during ceremonies.
Its simple shape, its four sturdy legs, and its worn surface give it a singular presence in any contemporary space or private collection."
