Ripple Crescent Stool

Handmade in Ghana, West Africa

Inspired by the regal heritage of Ghana's Akan royals and the design of traditional Ashanti stools, this crescent stool is a beautiful synthesis of artistry and strength.

Each stool is a unique, handcrafted piece made from natural wood. With proper care, it will last for generations and retain its beauty and character.

Cleaning

• Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp (not wet) microfiber cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the wood’s natural finish.

Conditioning

• Nourish the wood with a natural furniture wax, beeswax polish, or mineral oil.
• Apply a thin layer with a soft cloth, let it absorb for a few minutes, and then buff gently to restore luster.
• This helps prevent drying, cracking, and warping.

Placement

• Keep the stool away from direct sunlight, radiators, or heat vents, as excessive heat can cause the wood to dry out or fade.
• Avoid placing it in damp or humid areas, which can lead to swelling or mold growth.
• Use felt pads under the legs if placing on delicate flooring.

Use

• Your stool is sturdy but handcrafted — use it for sitting or display, not as a step stool or to support heavy loads.
• Minor scratches or marks can be gently buffed out with fine-grain sandpaper, followed by reapplying wood oil or wax.

Long-Term Care

• Over time, your stool may develop a rich patina — this is a natural part of its beauty and heritage.
• With regular care and gentle handling, it will continue to age gracefully and tell its story for years to come.
