The Twist Plateau has the visual energy of a particularly interesting conversation that keeps going off-topic.
Handwoven in Rwanda from sisal, yarn, and sweetgrass, the Twist Plateau from Indego Africa features winding bands of pink and purple that seem to have developed a mind of their own. The swirling pattern gives its shallow, rounded shape a wonderfully playful quality, while the texture of the natural fibers makes it just as interesting up close. At twelve inches across, it works as a decorative catchall, a centerpiece, or an unexpected addition to a gallery wall, thanks to a hanging loop on the back. Each one is made by hand, with subtle variations that make the pattern feel even more alive.
