Pokou is a seat inspired by Ivorian Baoulé chairs. These traditional seats, and more specifically their proportions, struck me with their elegance and harmony.

Based on this inspiration, I wanted to design a more modern chair that would incorporate the characteristics of the Baoulé chair, adapting it to my artistic style, but also to a contemporary interior.

It was important and interesting for me to retain the specific characteristics of Baoulé chairs while freeing myself from certain visually heavy elements.

The finesse and curve of the backrest, the openwork legs and the extension of the rear legs into two uprights connected by the backrest have therefore been retained. The seat has been made more comfortable and modern thanks to a change in material.
