Know before you buy
The seat is crafted from a blend of all-natural banana and abaca leaf, woven with vintage cotton rope. This combination creates a durable, organic texture that highlights the stool's Indonesian craftsmanship.
The mahogany frame is available in either warm-toned or sun-bleached finishes. Both options are designed to showcase the natural grain of the wood while complementing the organic weave of the seat.
The Shona Stool measures 20 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 17 inches high. Its low-profile silhouette makes it a versatile choice for extra seating or as a decorative accent.
Yes, the Shona Stool is designed to look best in multiples. Its spare, modern lines allow you to line them up along a console or group them together without overwhelming the visual space.
Because the seat is made from natural banana and abaca leaf, it should be kept dry and away from direct moisture. We recommend gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth or using a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove debris from the weave.
