A figure with form and presence. A functional item with defining shape and design. These are the qualities that are looked for when choosing a piece. A piece with these qualities separates it from the ordinary. The challenge to replace such a piece with an equal or more exciting piece gives the energy and enthusiasm to keep travelling and sourcing from both in Africa and from old collections in the UK and Europe.
