Inspired by poets and philosophers

The baskets are all produced by several small women’s communities from the post conflict zones who we retrain to adapt the traditional weaving skills to now make contemporary and stylish homeware items

‘The artist takes her inspiration from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke and the paintings which abound in symbolism and metaphor deal with the numinous world

Composition -100% Cotton

Made with a twill weave

the unique practice of handloom was once taught on temple grounds to villagers looking for a new source of income

They add texture to a minimal interior or can be mixed with our throws to great effect
