Africa<\/strong> <\/em>is an\u00a0inexhaustible source of inspiration. From its dimension, its culture and its natural and human patrimony. It is almost impossible to not develop your creative mind while traveling on the black continent. BRABBU<\/a>\u00a0took from Africa<\/strong> <\/em>a huge inspiration and created a large range of products entirely inspired by those vasts lands. With a raw and natural design, made of cosmopolitan lines, I invite you to discover some of those pieces in the article below.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This table is a majestuous piece. The organic foot is made of brass and the table top is a real slice of an oak three. The design in itself is looking for power and the name of the piece is showing it off : APIS. APIS is a legendary god from Egypt. A majestuous and powerfull bull that is taking the appearance of life in all its stages. First, the creation, because APIS is the son of Ptah, then life, with the sun disk between his horns and finally death because of Osiris. To conclude, this table represent life from its roots.<\/p>\n

Managing moon cycles, he finally get the nickname of \u201cLord of Times\u201d. Thot has the power of knowledge and understanding. As the god\u2019s scribe, he embodied smartness and expression power. It is accordingly to all of this that BRABBU<\/a>\u00a0decided to create a piece of its collection inspired by him.<\/p>\n
