Centered around the use of Linen and “sebezz”, a sustainable weed which grows naturally in Ethiopia. We are currently working on integrating modern designs and color combination into the traditional basket weaving technique that has been used in Ethiopia for centuries, to come up with newly styled products that fit the modern living or working space.

We shape our design and its environment through the collaborative design process centered around people and nature. Our works manifest creative solutions which are the integration of cultural and environmental concern through professional practice

We craft High Quality African Baskets in Ethiopia

All of our basket weavers are women, working to support themselves and their families. We train them, and create job opportunity for women artisans to help them earn better income on their own. And our mission is to empower women and improve the quality of the women’s life.

We also believe that by weaving the baskets in the traditional manner the cultural heritage of basket weaving will be preserved and transferred to the next generation of weavers.
