Swahili stone houses and rooftop barazas: furniture for Lamu and Shela
EmmyPes Furnitures delivers to Lamu Island and Shela Village via mainland dispatch. Historic stone houses and rooftop baraza terraces suit freestanding swing chairs on arc stands, cantilever parasols and all-weather sunbeds.
Because our swing chairs and cantilever umbrellas stand on their own bases, they require no drilling into delicate coral rag walls or historic ceiling beams. For bedrooms, customers choose mahogany beds and dining sets that complement Swahili architecture.

Furnishing historic homes in Lamu and Shela
Protecting Swahili stonework and rooftop living
-
Freestanding frames protect coral walls
Choose swing chairs and parasols with self-supporting bases to avoid drilling into delicate coral stone or carved lime plaster.
-
Consider narrow street transport
Lamu streets are pedestrian and donkey-only. Modular sofa sections and knockdown bed frames transport smoothly from the jetty to your house.
-
Choose UV and salt-resistant wicker
High-density synthetic rattan does not dry out, split or fade under intense coastal sun on open rooftop barazas.

Coordinate jetty delivery
We deliver to the Coast mainland dispatch point (Mokowe / jetty) and assist with transport coordination to Shela or Lamu Town.
