Nyami Basket

About

In our quest to find the most beautiful decor on Earth, we have curated this collection of extraordinary baskets and trays  -   each of them have been painstakingly woven by hand by artisans in Africa and took over a week to weave.   

These artistic baskets are crafted and harvested of river reed, called imisi in Xhosa, which is used for both the weft and the warp of the weaving. Some of these baskets have a wire armature which, during their creation develop bumps and bends along the way which the weavers do not straighten, thereby giving the finished product its organic shape.  Patterns vary and are unique to each basket.
