Moroso's Binta Armchair Brings Culture to a Modern Home
Rose Nazarali — May 20, 2009 — Art & Design
The Binta Armchair by Moroso is clad in African fabrics and colors, taking you back to nature and culture.
The actual chair itself is made from the traditional baobab tree and the shape of the Binta Armchair is very traditional to the African culture.
The fabric textiles used mimic those of traditional women’s clothing in all parts of Africa, from big cities to rural tribal areas.
The Binta Armchair is a great way to take African home with you and to add some culture and color to any room.
