The Jimena Cabinet is a signature work from Hamed Ouattara, a Burkinabe designer whose Clet vision merges ancestral strength with contemporary aesthetics. Part of the renowned Bolibana Collection, first revealed at 1-54 New York and supported by Friedman Benda, this piece transforms discarded metal into a story of resilience, beauty, and identity. Handmade in the artist’s Ouagadougou workshop, Jimena carries the rhythm of Sahelian architecture and the patina of time. It reflects Ouattara’s Clet philosophy — to elevate what has been abandoned and restore it as a living memory of Africa’s creative spirit.
