A large hand-carved Senufo bed from the Ivory Coast, rooted in the woodworking heritage of the Senufo people of West Africa. Carved from a single solid piece of wood, it rests on short, sturdy legs with a smooth, gently curved surface — a low, robust, earthy form that reflects the Senufo emphasis on simplicity and a connection to the natural world.
Over time the wood has developed a rich, warm patina that adds to its character. One of the larger examples, originally made as a bed and working beautifully today as a bench, daybed or sculptural centrepiece — a functional object and a striking piece of African artistry, with every curve showing the hand of the maker.
