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.

The world’s oldest, simplest chair design.

These simplistic wonders are each carved from a single piece of native hard wood and originate from the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. The Senufo chair has a unique utilitarian folding-up system designed for the semi-nomadic life of the Senufo people.

Traditionally on the back of these chairs there is a lovely surprise of a carved animal… here, the crocodile.
