Each Bamileke Stool is entirely hand-carved by artisans in Cameroon using traditional tools passed down through generations. The spider motif, a hallmark of Bamileke art, is not decorative alone, it is symbolic of creation, unity, and perseverance. As the artisan sculpts, repetition and rhythm guide the movement, producing a form that engages both logic and instinct. In neuroscience, such symmetry and tactile patterns evoke a sense of order and tranquility, resonating deeply with the human brain’s innate love for harmony.
