We source, design and wholesale African baskets from all over the continent. In Southern Africa we play an active role in keeping alive traditional basket weaving skills through training and by facilitating contact between remote rural areas and the city based world of contemporary interior design.

A glimpse into Where Colour Flows: The Okavango Basket exhibition.

This exhibition celebrates the remarkable weaving traditions of the Bayei and Hambukushu communities of north-west Botswana, bringing together colour, craft and cultural heritage through a collection of exceptional handwoven baskets.

Developed through a series of workshops in Gumare between 2025 and 2026, the exhibition showcases pieces woven to the highest standard while exploring exciting new developments in pattern, colour and technique.

If you missed the opening, or haven’t had the chance to visit yet, there is still time. The exhibition remains on display until 27 June 2026.

We look forward to welcoming you.
