Tribal-Cushioned Rattan Chair with Woven Surround - Circle of Seat & Signal – Enkito e Enkai (Step of Illumination).

More than a chair—this ensemble is a woven invocation of rest, rhythm, and ancestral geometry.

Introducing the Enkito e Enkai Circle of Seat & Signal: a curved rattan chair paired with a black-and-white cushion adorned in tribal symbols—lines, arrows, crosses, and squares. Behind it, a circular woven wall hanging and a reddish-brown fiber halo echo the rhythm of reflection, while a tall basket anchors the scene in grounded breath. This setting transforms posture into ritual and pattern into chant.
