the story
In Senegal, a vase is woven one coil at a time.
In Senegal, weavers wrap elephant grass in strips of recycled plastic and stitch it into a tight coil, building each vase row by row from the base up. The grass gives it structure, the plastic gives it color, and no two come out quite the same.
coiled by hand
Each vase starts from a single coil of elephant grass, wrapped and stitched row by row.
color in every row
Recycled plastic adds color and strength, so the pattern is woven in, never painted on.
made for dried stems
Woven vases are not watertight. Fill them with dried flowers, branches, or pampas, or leave them empty.
