Fasina Contemporary Cocktail Table

Individually carved by hand from reclaimed cedar wood from Ghana, each table showcases the distinct character of the wood and the skill of the artisan.

The piece celebrates pan-African design by drawing on the foundational form of the Hehe stool, which is then meticulously hand-carved with distinctive African geometric patterns that hold symbolic meaning. The result is more than a functional object; it's a powerful story of heritage, unity, and eco-conscious creation.

Each stool is a unique, handcrafted piece made from natural wood. With proper care, it will last for generations and retain its beauty and character.

Cleaning

• Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp (not wet) microfiber cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the wood’s natural finish.

Conditioning

• Nourish the wood with a natural furniture wax, beeswax polish, or mineral oil.
• Apply a thin layer with a soft cloth, let it absorb for a few minutes, and then buff gently to restore luster.
• This helps prevent drying, cracking, and warping.

Placement

• Keep the stool away from direct sunlight, radiators, or heat vents, as excessive heat can cause the wood to dry out or fade.
• Avoid placing it in damp or humid areas, which can lead to swelling or mold growth.
• Use felt pads under the legs if placing on delicate flooring.

Use

• Your stool is sturdy but handcrafted . Use it for sitting or display, not as a step stool or to support heavy loads.
• Minor scratches or marks can be gently buffed out with fine-grain sandpaper, followed by reapplying wood oil or wax.

Long-Term Care

• Over time, your stool may develop a rich patina , this is a natural part of its beauty and heritage.
• With regular care and gentle handling, it will continue to age gracefully and tell its story for years to come.
