You know one of those items that you see everywhere but can't ever figure out what they are called, or find a link that explains what it is or where to get it? Well that is what has been going on for a few months with these beautiful stools!

......Senufo Stools...... to be exact.

These beautiful stool are hand carved from a single block of wood by the Senufo people of the Ivory coast, and as such are extremely durable. perfect for extra low level seating or as a handy litle side table!!

Collections: African and Asian Masks

Francesco Clemente


I love African and Indonesian Masks, mainly due to my fathers collection. I remember friends saying that they found them scary, but I have always seen them as interesting friendly faces, in particular one we used to call Courgette... a huge long stripy one.

A perfect gettaway



I am coming to the end of my first year of my nursing training, and it has been one hell of a rollercoaster. I am due to go to china in a month for a nice old break. Although i am looking forward to it, at the moment the idea of being in a city surrounded by millions of people is the last thing i want. To be at one of these places with some bottles of wine, a few good friends and my sister watching the sunset would be perfect.
