A Wooden Door Inspired by African Design

Description

The nomad Touareg tribe, or the “blue people” as some call them, are one of Africa’s most fascinating tribes, but also a vanishing one.?Located in the region of Mali, Algeria & Mauritania in West Africa, south of the Niger Bend, they’ve been living there since the 4th Century before Christ.

The Touaregs are best known for their religious traditions, jewelry, wooden sculpture, and architecture. The wood used in this door is unknown but exceptionally dense and tawny. The rich and sophisticated and the metal fittings are all hand-forged iron.
