Artisan Ground Ensemble – Patterned Stools & Basket Rhythm – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than seating—this ensemble is a woven dialogue of form, function, and ancestral geometry.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Ground Ensemble: a curated pairing of intricately patterned stools and stacked rectangular baskets, each handwoven from natural fibers and dyed in earthy tones. The stools feature spiral and triangular motifs in brown and white, evoking tribal shields and sacred geometry. The baskets—lined, handled, and modular—offer both utility and visual rhythm. Together, they create a grounded yet elevated display of cultural craftsmanship.
