Binta Armchair by Swedish Designer Philippe Bestenheider
"Binta was inspired by Africa. Its sculptural shape evokes African wood carvings, but its polyurethane rubber forms are softer. Like a baobab tree, Binta anchors itself firmly to the ground with thick, trunk-like feet whose elegant forms bring to mind the weighty baobab. Its upholstery is a patchwork of Wax fabrics, the traditional textiles worn by African women...The brash, bright colour contrasts are in the tradition of African textiles and colour schemes; they conjure up the elegant tailoring of women's clothes as if Binda were a Senegalese lady about to wear and enhance the hot colours of Africa"."
