Tonga Stool 02 The stool would have been

The stool would have been used as a prestige item used only for market days or during important meetings

Each stool has unique carving details on the stool legs and are finished with a natural leather hide seat

The bangles are hand-sculpted and finished with delicate and intricate carved patterns

We love the linear pattern and dark hue of these pots

Tonga Stool 02 The stool would have beenOur collection of Tonga stools originate from the Tonga people of Zimbabwe. The stools have been hand carved by the community using indigenous wood. The maker creates unique designs each time, so no two stools are identical. As the Tonga stool is used as a portable seat which is carried to neighbouring communities for ceremonies and gatherings they often vary in size, with the larger stool and more difficult stools to transport harder to come by.
