Product Description: Maitland Smith 8431-43 Bongo Ottoman - The bongo is a instrument in Zulu culture, not only used to call tribes to the chief’s meetings from their kraals, but also as a symbol of joy after meals. The rhythmic sounds echo through the night, bringing a sense of unity and celebration. Incorporating this peace and joy into the home, much like the bongo does in Zulu culture, creates a space that blends harmony with celebration. This design embodies a sense of tranquility and artistic elegance, offering comfort and style, perfect for a contemporary global home that embraces influences from all corners of the world. The fusion of peace, joy, and comfort is essential to creating a welcoming, timeless atmosphere. Crafted from red oak, hammered iron, and black leather.
