Made from re cycled dhow (traditional sailing boat) wood this sofa, photographed with out its cushions, is very heavy and solid. It was made by Nicola, my niece, Jocelyn's niece and Gems' cousin! She has a fantastic workshop in Dar es Salaam (and now Zambia) making all types of furniture and wooden artefacts all from recycled timber. All our camps are furnished by her. The business is named "Nzito' which means heavy in Kiswahili.....very appropriate.
Terrific photo, and I always learn so much as well! You certainly have a very colorful life.
ReplyDeleteAny of these recycled, handmade pieces would fetch quite a price here in the US. Reclaimed wood is the popular thing here now.
ReplyDeletewow, that is one heavy piece of furniture. I love it, and I find all the other details of the picture interesting too. What looks like a beautiful wooden chest in the background... Gorgeous.
ReplyDeletegreat to get Nicola in the blog!!
