Most likely created by artisans of the Hehe peoples of Tanzania, this tripod stool embodies wonderful movement in its sweeping form. Playful lines drawn by graceful arched legs contrast the stool's clean, round surface. Incised chevron patterns fade in and out, clearly marking this stool's years of use. This strong, primitive form is an example of the African aesthetic that inspired European artists as they developed the Abstract Expressionist movement in the early 20th century.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
