This Senufo Bed is made from a single piece of wood and features a rectangular design with a distinct headrest. Supported by four sturdy legs, the bed’s low profile and functional shape make it a versatile piece. Each bed is unique, with natural variations in the wood's grain and markings, giving every piece its own character.
Traditionally, Senufo beds were used for resting and sleeping, with the headrest providing added comfort. While originally designed as beds, these pieces can also function as benches or low tables, adaptable to modern uses. The straightforward design reflects the practical needs of the community, with each bed built to be durable and easy to maintain.
The Senufo people live in the northern regions of the Ivory Coast and neighboring countries. Their way of life is organized and communal, with a strong focus on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of crops like millet and maize. Their social structure is based on shared responsibilities, with a deep connection to the land and their environment.
