Elevate your dining experience with this exquisite handcrafted trivet, designed to protect your furniture while showcasing your culinary creations. This piece is handwoven in the vibrant seasonal hues of the Spring/Summer 2023 Abound Collection, adding a splash of color to any table setting.
Crafted by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of Western Uganda, this trivet is more than just a functional item. It represents a cooperative effort that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women, providing them with training and additional income through basket weaving.
Made from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, this trivet is both eco-friendly and durable. The unique blend of natural and AZO-free dyes, derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, showcases the weavers' expertise in creating vibrant, lasting colors.
The intricate design is achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around coils of banana fibers, resulting in a sturdy and visually appealing structure. Each trivet is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, with slight variations in size and color due to its handmade nature, making every piece truly special and unique.
Handmade in Uganda, this trivet measures approximately 8" x 0.25", making it a perfect fit for your tabletop needs.
