Behind The Design:

Rwanda’s long history of craft includes ceramics, ironworks, wood carving and of course weaving.

Jacaranda trees found in southern Rwanda provide a durable wood with a distinctive grain pattern that lends each hand-carved piece character. The wood’s malleability makes it perfect to add woven patterns that create a unique textural look.

Found inside the Agave plant, sisal fibers are fine but incredibly strong, with a naturally light color great for dying. Rwandan artisans often use sisal in a traditional coil weaving technique where hand dyed threads are wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass to create a tightly coil in a range of colors and patterns.

    Impact

    The artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world. Yet the majority of artisans are women who lack access to export markets, business skills, and the financial tools needed to run successful, global enterprises.

    We are dedicated to changing that by investing 100% of our profits into education programs for the women who handcraft our products and youth in their communities. Since 2007, we've provided over 1,100 artisans and 250 young people in Rwanda & Ghana with employment opportunities, entrepreneurship training, and consistent access to the global export market.

    That's Impact.

      Care Instructions

      Wipe clean 

      Apply a light coating of food quality mineral oil to the wood base every few months or whenever your piece looks dry. Let the oil absorb into the wood for 5-10 minutes before gently rubbing off excess oil with a cloth.

      Avoid styling in direct sunlight as the color of the wood may lighten or dry more quickly.

      Trim any stray fibers that may appear over time.

      Spot Clean
