One of a kind, exceptionally rare in contemporary Southeast Asia <Exquisite Hand-Woven Bamboo Openwork Table> Ancient wisdom from the forests and traditional villages of Laos During Yangga's ethnographic fieldwork in northern Laos, this artisanal piece was discovered by chance in a local residence. We requested the artisan's assistance to recreate this precious piece of living art. Crafted from native forest bamboo. The production process uses no chemical coatings or adhesives. This natural textile will gradually develop a unique patina over time, reflecting your usage habits. A beautiful keepsake that is also kind to the Earth. | Material | Laotian natural wild bamboo | Color | Un-dyed, smoked bamboo color | Dimensions | Small: Diameter approx. 30 x Height approx. 16cm Medium: Diameter approx. 40 x Height approx. 18cm Large: Diameter approx. 39 x Height approx. 40cm | Production | Traditional villages in Northern Laos | Care | Keep dry at all times.

(A great opportunity for those who appreciate the smoky aroma!) ✦ Each piece exhibits subtle variations in detail and color due to the handmade nature and smoking process. The body may show mottled shades of color from the smoking. The base of the table may have slight unevenness due to the natural bamboo weaving. Please ensure you can accept these characteristics before ordering. Yangga collaborates with local artisanal organizations in Laos, connecting traditional Laotian tableware and daily necessities with the needs of modern Taiwanese life, creating a range of practical and simple woven goods. These cannot be compared to mass-produced textiles imported from China and Vietnam. We prioritize environmental and human-friendly cycles. For sourcing, the entire village collectively cares for forest sustainability. The government and artisanal organizations provide guidance on economic and environmental education, and establish "co-designed" compensation with the villagers, rather than low-price acquisitions by intermediaries. The organization also guides them in continuously improving their craftsmanship, enabling them to accept more diverse design orders, ensuring stable orders, and leading to stable and improving incomes. Each weaving team functions as a small community, where families and neighbors cooperate, grow, and support each other. From this, we understand that each object is more than just an item; it is a precious interweaving of nature and the human spirit. We are grateful for the ethnic groups in this world who live in harmony with nature, preserving for us precious nature and wisdom. | Shipping Packaging | This item will be shipped using eco-friendly kraft paper wrapping, cardboard boxes, or convenience boxes for shipping or self-pickup.
