Making the table

Many West and Central African countries can boast highly skilled craftsmen in the home and decor sectors. These men and women use the most rigorous processes and the best materials: mortis-and-tenon joint fittings, engineered solid woods (laminated wood as opposed to press board), bronze molds using the lost wax casting technique (used most famously by the Italian Rennaisance artist Michelangelo), hand-block printed textiles, etc.

These items have centuries of technique in each detail resulting furniture and accessories created for beauty and timeless longevity.
