A bench sofa that we love in an incomparable bohemian style covered with a magnificent velvet printed with drawings of lush tropical plants: palm trees and Traveler's trees and giant ferns.
The canopy is not far with its sounds of insects and colorful birds...
The traveller's tree, also called ravenale or ravinala in Malagasy, are tropical plants native to Madagascar and endemic, that is to say they only grow there. They were nevertheless introduced by settlers in the 19th century in various botanical gardens around the world, such as Singapore and Malaysia.
Its sap is abundant and drinkable and earned it its name of traveller's tree because anyone can quench their thirst easily with a blow of a machete.
Discovered by botanist Philibert Commersson in 1780, it is easily recognizable thanks to its large fan-shaped leaves that make it look like a palm tree.
The bulletin of the National Society of Acclimatization of France: review of applied natural sciences 1896 (Gallica, BNF) declares about it: "The water contained in the heart of the tree allows the traveler to be quenched. By piercing the heart of the tree, fresh water springs from it which is particularly thirst-quenching."
