Finding And Collecting Tribal Furniture

Some collectors look for a style referred to in the west as tribal furniture. These are not necessarily made by indigenous people but use a pattern that resembles wickerwork or jungle textures. These types of furniture can be lightweight and very attractive. Unless they are made by actual weaving, they tend to be produced by creating a machine imprint into particle board or luxury wood. More rarely, the designs are produced by hand.

Although not all this furniture is made of exotic cultures, it has a strong equatorial appeal. It goes well in a room with bright colors, plants, or any other summertime suggestion. It is also great for a porch or sunroom. Because the patterns are distinct, the interior decorator should seriously think ahead of coordination. Matching furniture and theme-appropriate accessories are best. This type of furniture is easily found through a supplier that loves summertime and bright rooms.
