More than furniture—this pairing is a woven invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Rest & Reflection: a handcrafted wicker chair with a rounded back and a sculptural black stool with a double-tiered silhouette, placed outside a shop adorned with baskets and circular wall hangings. Designed for boutique lounges, artisan showcases, or ceremonial corners, this ensemble transforms seating into storytelling.

Artisan Connection:

Crafted by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the chair is shaped from rattan and baobab fiber using traditional coiling techniques, its curved form echoing ceremonial cradles and communal seating. The stool is carved from reclaimed wood and finished in matte black, its stacked tiers symbolizing elevation and layered wisdom. The surrounding woven décor deepens the narrative—each basket and wall piece a vessel of rhythm and ritual.
