This Senufo stool from Ivory Coast has a round, flat seat with four straight legs that taper slightly toward the bottom. The legs are evenly spaced and provide solid support for the stool. The stool’s design is simple, but the legs and the seat are proportionate, creating a balanced and stable structure. The wood has a dark patina, with some slight textures from the carving process.
