Oju Chair

The Oblist Verified independent store

Drawing from Wifredo Lam’s The Jungle, Ojú and Ewa reimagine the interplay of human and plant forms through the language of masks that speak of identity and renewal. Handcrafted fr om beech wood, each chair translates this dialogue into sculptural expression, Ojú with a mask-like face and Ewa with lines that rise and twist like tropical stalks. Together, they echo the abstract silhouettes of Lam’s figures, carrying their rhythm into space, where movement and gesture tell a story. Within an interior, their presence brings a sense of ceremony, reflecting traces of Afro-Caribbean heritage through layered symbolism. Show more
