The world’s oldest, simplest chair design.
These simplistic wonders are each carved from a single piece of native hard wood and originate from the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. The Senufo chair has a unique utilitarian folding-up system designed for the semi-nomadic life of the Senufo people.
Traditionally on the back of these chairs there is a lovely surprise of a carved animal… here, there is a crocodile.
The Senufo people live in West Africa. Experts estimate their population at over 2,500,000. Sharing a common language and culture, the Senufo live in a region that encompasses parts of the nation-states of Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire
