African Senufo Multipurpose Bench Hand Carved from Acacia Wood

About the Item

This Senufo Multipurpose bench was hand carved from acacia wood to serve a variety of functions - use it today in your living room as a low to the ground coffee or even dining table, as a daybed or bench, or place it at the foot of your bed to store quilts and coverlets. Today, most utilize this piece as an incredibly historic low to the ground table, but we were astonished to learn that this work was used for everything ranging from a bed, to a table, to even ceremonial events for the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. Furniture was extremely rare, and most often reserved for the elders of the tribe, so a piece this big would have served every function imaginable – both quotidian and sacred. The acacia wood (carved from a single tree trunk, no less!) has been smoothed out by its constant use. This distinguished work is fit for many functions. Make it the epicenter of conversation in your living room like it was the mainstay of furniture for the Senufo people.

Hand-Woven Diamond Kilim Wool Rug in Touch of Purple Pattern

Located in Brooklyn, NY

Kilim rugs range from typical, utilitarian functions to symbolic purposes, to art hanging in a home or gallery setting. The true beauty of these carpets is that they could serve several of these purposes across many lifespans. We recommend paying close attention to the motifs and colorscapes that were intentionally chosen by the weaver and visualizing where such a piece would be suited best in your space. If the choices are abundant, try unfurling this work of art in the heart of your home, far from the dirt and chaos of the outside world. Carpet weaving has an essential place in the culture, economy, and art of the “Rug Belt”, a region of countries that stretches from Morocco, through the Middle East, and ends in northern India. Persian carpets, first exported to ancient Greece and revered by great writers...
