The Eledere Stool (2024) by Nigerian artist Tunde Owolabi sits at the intersection of sculpture, furniture, and cultural storytelling. Hand-carved in wood and finished with painted acrylic detailing, the work draws on Yoruba visual language and ceremonial symbolism, transforming a functional object into a contemporary art piece. Owolabi’s practice is rooted in craft, ritual, and form, elevating everyday objects into vessels of identity and memory. For collectors, Eledere offers more than utility, it is a sculptural statement that speaks to Africa’s evolving design narrative, where tradition is reimagined through a modern, collectible lens.
