Carved Heritage - Sculptural Accent - Timeless Utility

Bring functional artistry and collected history into your space with the Medium Tonga Stool — each one hand-carved from a single piece of wood by Tonga artisans in Zimbabwe. Originally made for elders or daily use in rural community life, every stool is unique, with raw surface markings, organic curves, and the subtle signs of use that mark its journey. These pieces are both stool and sculpture — grounding rooms with the warmth of tradition and the conversation of craft.

Sized for versatility, the medium stool works beautifully as a casual perch, artful side table, or statement object layered beside sofas, beds, or in entryways. Its earthy tone and honest texture layer naturally with linen, raffia, and timber for a sophisticated, storied, and tactile coastal feel.
