Fahari Dining Table and Chairs Set
Handcrafted by Mamboline enterprise in 005, Umoja, Nairobi, Kenya
The Fahari Dining Table and Chairs Set is a metal dining table and chairs set handcrafted in Kenya. It pairs a rectangular table with four matching side chairs, each built from slim tubular frames. The cut-out patterning on the chair backs is worked by hand, with a repeating geometric border framing a central motif. Small details carry the making: rounded corners, capped feet, an even line across every leg. The set is made of metal throughout. The tabletop carries a glossy marble-effect surface in cream veined with soft apricot, set above a white frame. The chair backs combine a painted white panel with a band of deep pink below the seat, and the pierced fretwork lets light and background colour pass through. The frames are finished in white, and the proportions stay compact — upright backs, straight legs, a table that reads light rather than heavy in a room. This is a dining set for everyday meals. It suits a small dining corner, an apartment kitchen, a flat-roofed terrace or a shopfront café where a wipeable surface matters more than ceremony. Four places sit comfortably around it, and the chairs tuck close when the floor needs clearing. Metal furniture has a long working life in Kenyan homes and workshops, shaped by fabricators who cut, weld and finish by hand rather than by mould. Buying through Kamara means the piece comes from a named workshop making to its own pattern, and the small variations in cut and paint belong to that hand.
