A functional and beautiful accent piece designed for everyday use or effortless entertaining—equally at home on a kitchen counter, dining table, or styled as a centerpiece.

On the rolling hills of Rwanda, the sisal plant grows tall and strong. It takes nearly two years before the plant is ready to harvest. With a steady hand, a woman artisan carefully cuts one of its long, spiky leaves with a machete, leaving the plant to continue growing.

The green outer layers are stripped away by hand using water and skill, revealing the strong natural fibers beneath. The fibers are washed, dried, and prepared for weaving.

Some sisal receives its beautiful golden color from an unexpected source—Rwandan tea. The fibers are dipped in locally grown tea, creating a warm, natural tone. Other colors are dyed in our color lab, where sisal is carefully colored in small batches to achieve the perfect shade for each design.

Then the weaving begins. Using a needle and sisal thread, she stitches tiny coils around a bundle of natural grasses, building each piece from the center outward. Every Holder is woven by hand, one stitch at a time.

A Spoon & Stem Holder can take several days and thousands of individual stitches to complete. Behind every finished piece is a skilled woman artisan whose creativity, patience, and craftsmanship transform a simple plant into something beautiful, functional, and made to last.

Designed to be as beautiful as it is functional, the Spoon & Stem Holder brings handcrafted warmth to any space. Use it to display your favorite kitchen tools on the countertop, hold a bottle of wine for effortless entertaining or gift giving, or style it as a vase by placing a mason jar inside and filling it with fresh farmers market flowers or your favorite faux stems.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and do not submerge in water.
