Description of item
This skillfully hand-carved Ashanti Stool is beyond a piece of furniture, this stool is a work of art and a powerful cultural emblem. It’s handcrafted from repurposed wood and adorned with intricate, heritage-inspired details, carvings, and symbols. Perfect as a statement piece in your living room, a unique side table, or a stool for quiet contemplation, it adds a touch of genuine African heritage to any space. The classic curved seat design is not only beautiful but also offers a comfortable, ergonomic shape, reflecting centuries of functional design tradition.
Origin and Craftsmanship
Our artisans carefully obtain their wood from reforestation projects and also make use of reclaimed wood to craft a variety of products. The soul of our work lies in the material itself. Our artisans skillfully transform repurposed wood, gathered under the strict oversight of the Forestry Commission of Ghana, into high-quality masterpieces. The rich history of each reclaimed piece is preserved and enhanced through meticulous craftsmanship and a strong quality control process. The result is a premium-quality product that marries exceptional traditional techniques with a story of ethical, sustainable sourcing.
Design and Symbolism
This stool features an intricate woven basket design, a symbol deeply rooted in African artistry and communal life. The design celebrates interconnectedness, unity, and the strength found in togetherness, just as individual strands come together to form a resilient whole.
In Akan culture, baskets are more than functional objects; they represent cooperation, resourcefulness, and the collective effort that sustains communities. Each carved weave captures the rhythm of shared purpose and craftsmanship, transforming simple material into a vessel of meaning. This stool stands as a reminder that true strength lies in connection, making it a piece that embodies both cultural beauty and timeless wisdom.
