Little Satan
These Shetanis, or ‘little Satan’s’ have been individually hand carved from ebony by the Makonde tribe in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, who have been making similar figures for about 1500 years.
In an attempt to both refresh the vinyl toy market and celebrate the ancient figure-carving skills and traditions of the Makonde, designs are created by Muungano and the Makonde together, mostly communicating via email.
The project is the collaborative brainchild of Swedish design collective Muungano, retailer A World Beneath, the design duo Sandberg & Timmonen and the Makonde tribe.
Designer: Muungano Studio & Sandberg&Timmonen

powers says
Vinyl toys? Why not just have the Makonde tribe carve these things and sell them for much more than a vinyl reproduction? Maybe help them bust out of poverty level living?
