West African Ashanti Stool in Carved Hardwood, 20th Century

Located in Odense, DK

This sculptural stool is carved from a single block of solid wood, showcasing a distinctive, monolithic form. The wide, curved seat rests on a central arched support flanked by two end blocks — creating a grounded, rhythmic silhouette with both weight and openness.
