KENTE is the union of Dyed Zebrawood veneer, within glass, polycarbonate, or acrylic. Sometimes called Zebrano, the wood remains popular with Architects and Interior Designers for its bold and unique striping that can be combined with various color dyes. In fact, the introduction of navy blue in Kente relates to the story of the Africa cloth of the same name, in which an Ashanti King requested that his new fabric include additional colors, beyond black and white, from the surrounding trees.
