I've had a few pieces of furniture made by the remarkable cane weavers across the road. The furniture is unique, custom-made and very African. People have asked for photos so here are a couple.
The first is my matching bookcases that are almost-but-just-not-quite square (in fact, one's a parallelogram and the other has a wicked Pisa-like lean away from the wall).
The second is my new couch, which has two, possibly three legs the same length. It's a slimmed down version of my bed - I love sleeping at altitude after months on the floor! And embracing all the tiny little ants running over me in the morning.
(* I'm reliably told that a ludlow is that wodge of folded paper that you put under a table leg to stop it wobbling. Really.)
