Gone Rural - Woven Grass Coasters & Box - Tangarine - Eswatini

This set of six handwoven coasters comes neatly stored in a matching basket, combining practical function with natural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted by women artisans in Eswatini, who use age-old weaving skills to transform local plant fibres into durable, contemporary designs.

Together, they create coasters that protect your surfaces while adding a natural, artisanal charm to your table.

• Set of 6 coasters with matching basket

Materials:

• Lutindzi Grass: Eco-friendly wild grass, naturally renewable and extremely durable.
