Palaver Sling Chair

[PAH-LAH-VAH]

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by Nigeria’s palaver tradition — a communal space for dialogue, reflection, and dispute resolution — the PALAVER SLING reinterprets this cultural logic through two intersecting timber forms. Curved armrests clasp the structure, suspending a stitched leather sling that gently cradles the body.


Designed for the quiet in-between spaces, PALAVER SLING invites pause: the place where conversations begin, where ideas settle, where silence is a form of presence.
