Its name comes from the Maasai word “orinka,” a staff carried by men trusted to guide, and the Agĩkũyũ term “muthigi,” a ceremonial staff given to respected elders. In your community, you may call it differently, but the idea is shared: a simple tool, unadorned, carried by those your community relies on for guidance. Orimu embodies this same simplicity, with its upright, plain shape meant to ground a room just as a good leader grounds a community.
