Decoration in an ethnic style: stools and benches

Decoration with ethnic style

Indicates belonging to a town, a tribal or national community or a specific place. But beyond the vocabulary definitions, the ethnic origin is a term that adheres to both a piece of furniture and a dress, a meal, music, the ethnic decor, and everything that has to do with cultures that are different and distant from ours.

These cultures fascinate us, and many more. Consume their food, and their artisan products that have that attractive flavor.  The materials are almost always natural (leaves, pumpkins, grass, bamboo) and techniques (plot or decorations) requires considerable manual skill. Even designers are inspired by each world already far away from the exotic and fascinating ethnic results are really beautiful.Decoration with ethnic style

A particular reading of tradition and folklore is carried out by the artist Xaaly Sene Baay, who died in 2004. With the barrel of the age of oil, which he described as «petro-vestiges», that is to say, "Petro-ruins", the created tables, chairs, shelves and chairs, whose artistic quality and originality are undeniable. BXS are often inspired by traditional african furniture, who then checked his way. And this is the case with Riigu feces, a contemporary version of the Ashanti from Ghana, where wood is replaced by veneer.

Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has grappled with ethnic style with the Touti bench, an indoor or outdoor chair with a tangle of cables, which belongs to M'Afrique Collection by Moroso. In this collection the designer began to use the technique of interlacing plastic hand threads traditionally used for the construction of fishing nets.

Patricia Urquiola's bench, which looks a lot like a tree trunk resting on the sand, is accompanied by a single seat and a smaller table. The elements of the collection are handmade and therefore each product is unique, with its diversity of colors and fabrics.
