THE DETAILS
Dogon Anemone Gris
The Dogon Anemone design is an abstract interpretation of the case à palabre or toguna, the central meeting place in Dogon villages where wisdom is shared, decisions made, and tradition held in form.
The Anemone Gris print is inspired by the quiet shift of autumn in New England. Set against a soft grey ground, calming shades of brown, green, teal, and blue create a palette of earth and air, grounded, layered, and deeply reflective.

THE STORY
It’s the gathering place for the men of the village.
And though I cannot join them, I can see them lounging about. The clinking of stones against the wood of the mancala boards mingles with the sounds of their chit chatting. The swishing stream of tea being poured alternates with satisfying sips.It’s where lively discussions begin and disputes are settled.With a roof balanced on stacked stones and low clearance, this ingenuity allows for peaceful resolution to arguments. As they say, it’s difficult to become or stay angry when one must remain seated.All under the case à palabre.The toguna. -
