About the Item

Rare antique coffee table or bench hand carved by the Senufo tribes from a single block of wood native to the west coast of Africa. The wood is tough, dense and very durable. Shown with six hand carved legs, which is unique as usually these are made with four legs. To clarify, the legs are carved within the block of wood not joined with glue or nails. All by hand. Circa 1900. Full dimensions; 73” long x 18”-17” wide x 13” high. We only source the best. This beautiful one of a kind coffee table or bench 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. Andrianna Shamaris. The Leader In Modern Organic Design.
