Each stool in our collection is a testament to the artistry and stories of the Ashanti people, crafted by hands guided by centuries of tradition.

The Ashanti people of Ghana are known for their rich cultural heritage, particularly in their creation of symbolic furniture that plays a significant role in both daily life and ceremonial practices. The Ashanti stool is not merely furniture but an emblem of identity and spiritual significance. Traditionally, these stools are believed to house the soul of the owner, making them revered artifacts within the community.

Each stool in our collection showcases the unique blend of functionality and artistry that defines Ashanti woodwork. Crafted from single blocks of wood, these stools are shaped and smoothed with tools that have been used by artisans for centuries. The intricate carvings and detailed motifs often depict symbols from Ashanti folklore, each telling a story or representing a specific proverb.

This stool stands out with its elegant curves and detailed geometric patterns, which symbolize unity and harmony within the Ashanti communities. Its deep, rich patina tells of years gone by, each marking a testament to its enduring nature.
