{"product_id":"antique-rustic-minimalist-lobi-stool","title":"Antique Rustic Minimalist Lobi Stool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 14” stool is an authentic artifact from the Lobi people of Burkina Faso. In Lobi culture, stools are highly personal objects, often considered a physical extension of the owner’s identity. While functional, they also hold a spiritual significance, frequently used in daily household life. The minimalist design is a classic Lobi silhouette, favored for its stability on the uneven earthen floors of traditional family compounds. Carved from a single, dense block of indigenous African hardwood, the stool features a beautifully dished, circular seat supported by three robust, out-swept legs. The rhythmic, vertical carvings on the exterior of the legs provide a sophisticated geometric texture that contrasts with the smooth, concave surface of the seat. The wood has aged to a deep, warm umber patina, showing an authentic \"user sheen\" on the edges and seat—a testament to decades of handling and use within its original community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its compact 14-inch dm  this stool is the quintessential sculptural side table. Its \"Modern Primitive\" aesthetic makes it a natural fit for a Safari Style interior, where the focus is on raw materials and honest craftsmanship. Use it as a unique plant stand, a textured accent next to a low-slung lounge chair, or even as a soulful sculptural element in a primary bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Mid 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 13\"(L) x 14“(D) x 14.5“(H) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Hand-Carved Monoxylous Hardwood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Dark Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Features: Dished circular seat; tripod base with vertical geometric carvings; rich aged patina.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Culture: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLobi People\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: Burkina Faso, West Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Excellent antique condition with a historic surface and natural age-related character marks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49605999034605,"sku":"IMG_9321","price":925.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_9321_fbd8654f-57b9-47e1-b887-098c0d1c401c.jpg?v=1773432251","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/antique-rustic-minimalist-lobi-stool","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
