Description

Tena Ase. Take your seat. The food is ready.

Rooted in the deep cultural tradition of communal dining across the Black world, this Tena Ase Table Runner from Chef Nataki’s collection is more than just a table accent—it’s a ceremonial invitation to come together. The phrase Tena Ase in Akan means “sit down,” and within the Pan-Afrikan context, it represents unity, nourishment, and shared purpose.

This rich, symbolic textile features vertical rows of wooden spoons and forks flanking a gentle wavy straw line, representing the flow of culture across the Afrikan world. It visually evokes a call to eat together—whether in Accra, Atlanta, or Antigua—bridging kitchens across continents. Optional motifs of black-eyed peas add another layer of meaning: prosperity, ancestral presence, and the legacy of African culinary traditions.

Lay it down for family dinners, cultural events, or everyday meals that mean more. This runner transforms any table into a testament of connection, joy, and cultural pride—honoring food as both sustenance and ceremony.
