In traditional Ashanti culture, stools indicated power, status, and lines of succession. The platform base, curved seat, and ridged supports of this stool reference the Ashanti King Stool form. Supported by a beast of burden tethered to a post, the owner of this stool was most likely a successful merchant whose business relied on the power and dedication of caravan animals. This unusual sculptural object communicates a world of inspired culture through its form.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
