Somali art is deeply grounded in practicality, where functional objects also serve as expressions of culture. One notable example is the oblong stool, skillfully crafted from hardwood and leather by local craftsmen.
The stool is designed for use in the house, reflecting both utility and tradition. The item is easy to carry around within the homestead.
Today, this once-essential and environmental friendly piece of heritage is getting increasingly rare, gradually replaced by mass-produced plastic chairs.
