Senufo Side Table or Stool From Côte d’Ivoire

Beautiful antique side table or stool hand carved by the Senufo tribes from a single block of mahogany wood native to the west coast of Africa. The wood is tough, dense and very durable. The light tone wood on this one is unusual as they are mostly darker. Shown with a 3.5 inch thick top. We have a small collection in this blonde tone. Please inquire. We only source the best.

This side table or stool was sourced in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
