Lamu is well known for its high-backed chair, the kiti cha enzi (literally “chair of power” commonly referred to as kiti cha mpingo, the “ebony chair”). It is striking for its angular design and hard wood (often ebony), elaborate string panels, and delicate ivory or bone inlay.
from Lamu: Kenya’s Enchanted Island
