the laote

the laote chair

a low hand-carved wooden chair from the Ivory Coast the low chair is a traditional seat for tribal elders and chiefs

noted for their fine wooden carvings these chairs are smaller in stature as they were used for carrying from village to village

unlike many other African stools that are carved from one piece of wood these chairs are crafted with multiple pieces of wood and feature fine simple joinery and decorative detail

made of wood

slight variations and imperfections may apply due to an artisanal handmade production process

differences in shades, irregularities in stone or ceramics, patina on metal surfaces, wood cracking and more are considered as an added value that makes this piece as unique

at STUDIO OBSCOURA, we stand by these artistic choices and do not accept returns related to the above
