On the rolling hills of Rwanda, sisal grows tall and strong for nearly two years before it is ready to harvest. Skilled women artisans carefully cut the leaves by hand, strip away the outer layers to reveal the strong white fibers, then wash and dry them in the sun.

The fibers are dyed using natural Rwandan tea for warm, earthy tones or colored in small batches in our color lab to create custom designs. Once the sisal is ready, the weaving begins.

Using a needle and thread, each woman carefully stitches coils of sisal around a bundle of natural fibers, building the trivet one stitch at a time. Every pattern reflects her skill, patience, and attention to detail. Each trivet takes about two days to complete, transforming simple natural materials into a beautiful piece that is both practical and timeless.

More than a way to protect your table, each trivet represents the craftsmanship, resilience, and creativity of the women who made it.

Use the Pinwheel Trivet beneath hot dishes and serving pieces, or display it on your wall as a decorative piece when not in use. Its distinctive pattern adds a touch of color and texture to your kitchen, dining space, or basket wall.
