• Edition : Colonial warriors

Baptist beckons you to pause and take a seat, if only for a fleeting moment. It encourages a brief interlude of reflection and a stolen moment of daydreaming. With its low, grounded design, Baptist offers an invitation to discover a new perspective.

These vibrant stools are more than just functional furniture; they’re part of an art project that explores our colonial history and the ongoing implications of object ownership. Crafted from natural materials, each stool is a modern replica of the original wooden pieces made by our great-grandfather, who traded them in African markets.

By using casting techniques, we’re not only replicating these historical items but also reimagining their essence. This collection invites you to sit down and take a fresh look at the world around you, encouraging reflection on both personal and societal values that we often overlook.

Every day, millions of people create objects that hold stories and meanings. Our project honors this creativity while reminding us that our colonial history is not just a thing of the past; its effects continue to shape our present. We hope these stools will inspire you to appreciate the artistry, history, and ongoing relevance behind everyday objects.

Baptist is part of the ungoing project of colonial warriors …
