{"product_id":"palabre-chair","title":"Palabre Chair","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposed of two simple interlocking wooden forms, the palabre chair is an iconic object throughout Africa. Traditionally used for community meetings and discussions, it embodies a place for listening and sharing. In this version by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, the wood is replaced by bronze, which freezes and enhances the form while simplifying its lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, a miniature model was sculpted in wax by Noé, then sent in a plastic box full of water on a bus to prevent it from deforming. The first Palabre chair was made by Salfo Derme in Koudougou, a town 100km from Ouagadougou. The chair is cast in 2 parts, then assembled, as is traditionally the case with wood, before being welded. Due to the security situation in Burkina Faso, the chair was put on a bus each time Ambre came to Ouagadougou to follow the welding and finishing touches. It took us almost a year to complete the first piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53766946128208,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/5384\/8656\/files\/MI1602AT-SG50_reduit.jpg?v=1791319931","url":"https:\/\/maisonintegre.com\/products\/palabre-chair","provider":"Maison Intègre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
