Bamileke stools from Cameroon are also known as King's stools and are iconic pieces of African furniture. Traditionally used in cultural ceremonies, they are now coveted by interior design enthusiasts. Hand-carved from a single piece of wood, these stools feature an ornate lattice pattern symbolising divine wisdom. The wood is softened in rivers before carving, and any break is considered bad omen, rendering the piece abandoned.

These versatile stools bring an organic, earthy touch to modern interiors. 

Care Instructions
Keep your timber product away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or cracking. Regularly dust and clean your timber product using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Occasionally, apply a protective coating such as wax or oil to feed the timber and protect it from moisture and stains. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and reapplication. Do not place hot or wet items directly on the timber surface as it can cause discoloration and damage the finish. Avoid dragging or sliding heavy objects on the timber surface as it can scratch or damage the finish. If your timber product has any scratches or dents, use a touch-up pen, a wax stick or wood filler to repair it. For additional advice, please contact us.
