The WANDA armchair is a fully hand-carved sculptural chair created in the traditional Devils carving style, a rare and deeply expressive form of African art characterized by abstract shapes, trance-inspired forms, and fluid lines guided by the artist’s state of shamanic concentration. Each curve and opening is carved from a single piece of hardwood, forming a complex organic network that surrounds the seat like a living structure. The rich dark finish enhances the raw textures of the wood, while the deep-red cushion adds a luxurious contrast and transforms the piece into a functional artwork suitable for both modern and classical interiors.
More than a chair, this is a ritual-inspired creation reflecting African mysticism and the imaginative interpretation of each artisan. The figures and shapes follow no predefined rules — they emerge naturally during the carving trance, making every WANDA armchair a one-of-one masterpiece. Ideal for designers, architects, art collectors, galleries, boutique hotels, and luxury villas in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Manama, and Muscat, the WANDA armchair blends collectible sculpture with everyday comfort. Its sculptural presence enhances penthouses, majlis rooms, executive offices, and art-focused interiors where each piece must speak with individuality and cultural depth. A distinctive, investment-grade artwork available exclusively through www.VendaArt.com.
