Details

Chief Carver Nana Frimpong honors Ashanti traditions with the design of this regal stool. He carves it by hand with sublime artistic finesse from mahogany, its noble grain ideal for the symbolic meaning of the design. It is centered by the Nyansa po or wisdom knot from the collection of Adinkra symbols. Especially revered by the Akan people, Nyansa po conveys the idea that a wise person has the ability to choose the best means to attain a goal. On the seat, Biribi wo soro is a reminder that God dwells in the heavens and therefore symbolizes hope.

Perfect size for a small space”

This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.
