RATTAN BASKETRY

RATTAN BASKETRY IN SRI LANKA IS A CENTURIES-OLD CRAFT. FROM THESE SLENDER VINES, ARTISANS CREATE OBJECTS SHAPED BY FUNCTION AND QUIET BEAUTY.

EACH PIECE IS WOVEN BY HAND, THE CANE IS SPLIT, SOAKED, AND BENT WITH PRACTICED CARE, BUILDING STRENGTH THROUGH TENSION AND RHYTHM. 

WHILE TOOLS HAVE EVOLVED, THE CRAFT’S ESSENCE REMAINS - KEEPING SRI LANKA’S RATTAN HERITAGE ALIVE THROUGH TRADITION AND INNOVATION.
