These men are working with water hyacinth seagrass reeds. The reeds are artfully woven over kiln dried hardwood frame. These humble people have been making wicker and seagrass furniture for hundreds of years and because of this, the very best workmanship is found in this part of the world. It truly is an art. This organic furniture is sustainable, very strong, durable, and is earth friendly. In contrast, furniture with metal frames or synthetic "look alike" wicker end up in our landfills and oceans...but this will not as it will simply biodegrade. You can feel good about your purchase as it is helping these people by sustaining their livelihood, as well as keeping our environment safe. |
