The artist
Studio Kokwet is a furniture workshop in Ruaraka run by two cabinetmakers who met as apprentices. They work in cypress, olive wood and reclaimed hardwoods, with visible joinery and a few pieces of blackened steel, and make every piece to order. A kokwet is a council of elders; the studio's first piece was a long bench.
