Furniture Design

Zebra stripe pattern items in furniture can add some colonial and African feel to your home decor.

By the end of the 19th Century, the British forces that had been sent to colonize the east coast of Africa had well and truly immersed themselves in the African landscape, as well as the freedom from Victorian England that it brought. Instead of conforming to English ideals, they did their own thing, and created beautiful accessories for their home like this painted zebra stripe patterns table-chair. They often celebrated the natural, including the various animals that live in the wild. This table is just one example of that.

The zebra itself is made out of resin, with a flattened back to make it functional as well as a decorative chair table. The resin is painted to make it authentic, and it is certainly something different to place in any room of the home. This is typical of most colonial furniture, but this is definitely a unique and innovative piece that would provide an unusual talking point. The resin is also durable so it will last for years. Typically colonial, it is exotic and yet practical, implying discovery and exploration that taps into the way society views the world at the moment. Typical of the era it was created in, this zebra table actually represents the way society is now and thus fits into the home perfectly!
