Sculptural Tea Stools with Live-Edge Table - Circle of Ground & Grain – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than seating—this arrangement is a carved invocation of rhythm, rest, and rooted elegance.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Ground & Grain: a serene tea-serving ensemble featuring two sculptural wooden stools—one in dark grain, one in light—each shaped with rounded tops and tapered bases. They rest on a textured rug before a live-edge table supported by black metal legs, where teapots and cups invite pause and presence. A potted plant and chair in the background complete the scene, blending natural materials with modern ritual.

Artisan Connection:

Hand-carved by woodworkers in Nyeri, Kenya, the stools are shaped from grevillea and olive wood using lathe and hand-finishing techniques. Their forms echo ceremonial drums and ancestral vessels of rest. The live-edge table preserves the organic contour of the tree, symbolizing continuity and breath. The tea set offers rhythm and reflection, while the surrounding decor invites grounding and grace.
