Hand woven rattan baskets made in the island of Borneo, Indonesia. It is produced in our original size through a local fair trade organisation. The organisation’s founder is a member of the Dayak indigenous people of Borneo. In a region facing increasing deforestation, they are committed to activities that protect the environment and safeguard local livelihoods. The black hue is achieved by boiling split rattan in a decoction of leaves, then burying it in riverbank mud for several days to dye it. This natural, deep colour is fixed through a reaction with the iron contained in the mud.
