Muchaki

Muchaki refers to a small, traditional, hand-woven Kenyan stool. Often made from locally sourced wood and plant fibers, Muchaki stools are typically used in rural communities as seats, footrests, or small platforms for storage. They are generally low to the ground and simple in design, reflecting a practical and minimalist aesthetic. Variations exist in terms of size, shape, and materials depending on the specific region and artisan crafting them. Muchaki stools are frequently integral to daily life and often passed down through generations. They can also be found for sale in local markets and craft shops, offering a tangible connection to Kenyan culture and craftsmanship.
