A gallery of stories carved in wood

Step into the world of Ineza’s African stools collection—a handpicked selection of vintage and artisan-made treasures from across West Africa. Each piece in this collection is a testament to the region’s rich design traditions, functional artistry, and cultural symbolism.

From the minimalist elegance of the Senufo stool to the intricate carvings of the Bamileke stool, these objects are more than furniture—they are timeless works of art, shaped by generations of master carvers.

Why This Collection Stands Out

✔ A rich diversity of origins – Featuring rare pieces from Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and beyond.

✔ Pure artisan craftsmanship – Every stool and chair is hand-carved from indigenous wood, without glue or nails, using ancestral techniques.

✔ Vintage originals – Many pieces are 10–50 years old, their patina and wear telling stories of African homes and rituals.

✔ Functional & sculptural – Perfect as stools, side tables, plant stands, or statement decor for modern and ethnic-inspired interiors.

✔ Curated with care – Selected for stability, quality, and authenticity.
