At 12 inches wide, this versatile piece transforms any space with conscious intention.

Each strand of raffia tells a story of sustainable practices and fair partnerships. The artisan works with natural materials sourced from their local environment, creating pieces that honor both the land and the ancient wisdom of their craft tradition.
