Lake Turkana lies within the Kenyan Rift Valley and is the world’s largest permanent desert lake. For me, however, it is the people that inhabit the region that are most inspiring and intriguing. With customs, traditions, beliefs and beauty as deep as the lakes waters, the people – and landscape - of Lake Turkana left me reeling in insignificance.

Tonga stools are among hundreds of stools still being used in rural African villages. These particular stools are named after the Tonga people who originated in South Africa and overtime migrated north. Traditionally, only the head of the household could own and take his place on a Tonga stool.

These small stools with their sharp geometric designs have been carved by hand from a solid piece of wood. The Tonga people carve these stools with portability in mind, as they would take their own seating when attending weddings, funerals and ceremonies in neighbouring villages. Stack them, display them.
