ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven plateau transforms any wall into a gallery of conscious living. Each piece is carefully crafted from strands of natural sisal wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass, creating a texture-rich statement piece that speaks to the beauty of traditional African artistry. The natural materials bring an organic warmth that perfectly complements modern spaces seeking authentic character.
At 18 inches wide and 5 inches high, this large plateau makes its presence known whether mounted above a bed, displayed as part of a basket wall, or featured as the centerpiece on a generous table. The maker hand dyes each piece in soft pink and natural tones, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. A convenient hanging loop on the back makes installation effortless.
Every plateau represents more than beautiful decor. It carries the intention of empowering women artisans who transform locally sourced fibers into heirloom pieces. This is slow living made visible, where each purchase supports traditional craft techniques and the hands that keep them alive.

In Rwanda, Ghana and refugee camps, artisans, most of them women, make heirloom quality pieces that blend heritage technique with modern design. Since 2007, Indego Africa has worked to help women owned businesses in Africa grow, and today it partners with 26 independent, artisan owned businesses, which the company says are primarily owned by women.
Indego Africa sources its materials from local markets and farms, using fibers indigenous to the countries where it works, and says each product, from weaving to woodcarving, is handcrafted using heritage techniques. It builds long term, transparent relationships with its artisan partners, working together to set fair pricing and ensure fair wages.
Through business, leadership and vocational training, Indego Africa helps its partners become self sufficient entrepreneurs who run and scale their own businesses. Its artisan partners work with Indego Africa, not for it, and the company believes that when women are supported, they become powerful engines of growth for their families and communities.
