Leopard Plateau

This is one of those pieces that quietly steals the room—bold enough to notice, grounded enough to live with.
 
What it is
The Leopard Plateau is a handcrafted woven basket made by artisans in Rwanda using a time-honored technique passed down through generations. Made from strands of sisal wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass, it’s hand-dyed in natural tones with tan and black accents that give it its distinctive, graphic pattern. Thoughtfully finished with a loop on the back, it’s designed to live just as comfortably on the wall as it does on a tabletop.
 
Why you’ll actually use it
Because it refuses to be a single-purpose object. Use it as a fruit bowl, hang it in a collected gallery wall, or let it anchor a shelf or desk that needs a little visual gravity. It’s functional, sculptural, and endlessly adaptable—the kind of piece that makes a space feel considered without feeling precious.
