Enhance your dining experience with this exquisite Picnic Trivet from the Cultivate Collection. This handcrafted piece not only protects your furniture but also showcases your culinary creations in style. Woven in the vibrant hues of Fall 2024, it adds a seasonal touch to any table setting.
Crafted by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of Western Uganda, this trivet is a testament to their artistry and resilience. These artisans are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women, providing them with training and a source of income through basket weaving.
Made from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, this trivet is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful. The unique blend of natural and AZO-free dyes, derived from plants grown in the artisans' villages, results in bold, vibrant colors. The intricate designs are achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around banana fiber coils.
Each trivet is a one-of-a-kind creation, with slight variations in size and color, making it a truly special addition to your home. Handmade in Uganda, this trivet measures approximately 8" x 0.25", offering both functionality and a touch of cultural heritage.
