Plum Papasan Chair with Basket Ensemble - Circle of Depth & Display – Enkito e Naramat (Step of Stillness).

More than seating—this arrangement is a woven invocation of softness, color, and artisan pride.

Introducing the Enkito e Naramat Circle of Depth & Display: a plush, tufted papasan chair in muted plum, resting on a light woven base and placed on a tiled sidewalk in front of a shop window filled with handcrafted baskets. The deep seat invites pause and presence, while the backdrop of colorful and natural-toned containers evokes rhythm, offering, and cultural storytelling. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or ceremonial hosting, this ensemble transforms comfort into sanctuary and texture into tradition.

Artisan Connection:

Handcrafted by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the chair’s base is shaped from rattan and sisal using coiling techniques that echo continuity and breath. The plum cushion offers visual depth and ceremonial calm. The baskets behind it—woven from baobab fiber and dyed raffia—reflect Maasai shield symbolism, seasonal abundance, and ancestral rhythm.
