Telephone Wire Placemat

$130.00

Our range of telephone wire objects are hand crafted in South Africa by a co-operative of skilled weavers. Telephone wire is tightly woven to round coasters in a range of considered colours. The weaving project is a fair-trade initiative that focuses on mentoring local artisans — workshops that teach unemployed women and men how to weave leads into intensive skill development, training and on-going employment. This craft is difficult to master with only a handful of particular weavers who can make the larger cone bowls. 

Pan After worked closely with the project to develop a range of contemporary pieces, both functional and ornamental. 

These placemats are woven with a hardwire base, creating a very sturdy and strong mat for all uses. 

100% telephone wire, can be gently hand-washed.

Placemat measures 30cm diameter.
