Luba AAA350 Stool

A stool associated with Luba authority

The Luba AAA350 stool is a 20th-century piece from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Belonging to the Luba cultural tradition, it is not defined solely by its function as a seat. This type of object is also presented as a symbolic vessel for the chief’s spirit, directly associating it with notions of power and authority. Versmissen offers this example crafted from wood.

The simplicity of the material allows the piece’s cultural significance to take centre stage. Its natural beige colour gives it an understated presence, while its vertical format emphasises its silhouette. The AAA350 model measures 37 x 35 x 52,5 cm. It can therefore be regarded both as a decorative object and as a testament to representations of power within 20th-century Luba culture.
