Basketry

Basketry

Across Africa, natural fibers have shaped some of the continent's most beautiful everyday basketry: refined, naturally elegant, and at times wonderfully extravagant.

Ilala palm from Tanzania and Zimbabwe, elephant grass from Ghana, raffia from Madagascar and Uganda or sisal from Kenya. Each material carries its own texture, colour and character, with distinctive looks connecting with their geographical and cultural origins.

Thoughtfully curated, these pieces become striking wall art installations or quietly commanding presences within a room.
