  • ‘Liso’ means ‘Eye’ in Congolese Tshiluba. Tshiluba is one of the languages alongside three other native languages spoken in the DCR.


  • The Liso Stool introduces a dual-layered top that doubles as both a seat and side table. The sculptural volcanic rock in this stool, positioned horizontally to connect the two teak panels, is not just a structural element. Above it, a thematic vertical cut-out mirrors the rock’s exact shape, creating a visual play that en- hances the design. This arrangement serves as both a visual and material echo of the rugged landscapes of Belgium and Congo, linking the stool directly to the geographical and cultural inspirations that shape my artistic narrative.
