The Zangbeto Side Table by Sal Iwadi Studio is a wooden piece inspired by the form and symbolism of Benin's Zangbeto masquerade.
The design features layered wooden fins arranged radially in a spiraling configuration, capturing the movement and rhythm of the masquerade's spinning dances.
The table's hand-carved tiers simulate motion frozen in time, providing a sense of kinetic energy, while the alternating matte and polished finishes reflect the interplay of light and shadow during Zangbeto ceremonies.
Crafted from sustainably sourced wood, the table showcases natural grain patterns and celebrates its cultural roots, bridging heritage with innovation.
