Enhance your dining experience with this exquisite handcrafted trivet, designed to protect your furniture while showcasing your culinary creations. Woven in the vibrant hues of the Spring/Summer 2024 Harmony Collection, this piece adds a splash of color to any table setting.
Crafted by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of Western Uganda, each 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 bold mix of natural and AZO-free dyes, derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, showcases the deep knowledge and skill involved in its creation.
The hand-dyed raffia is meticulously twisted and wrapped around banana fiber coils, resulting in a sturdy structure and intricate design. Due to the handmade nature of each piece, no two trivets are identical, offering slight variations in size and color that make each one truly unique.
Proudly handmade in Uganda, this trivet measures approximately 8" x 0.25", making it a perfect fit for your tabletop needs.
