WOVEN 'ICPALLI‘ TULE COLLECTION
HISTORICAL CRAFT, SUSTAINABLY MADE
Our Woven collection features a group of seating designs made of woven tule in a technique that dates back to the Maya civilization—a technique all but lost to the modern world. Straddling epochs of time and culture, these designs represent the marriage of a centuries-old folk-art tradition and unexpectedly modern, sculptural forms.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, we built a workshop and began training more artisans in the venerable weaving craft to ensure its preservation in the 21st century and beyond. Our production has the additional benefit of improving the working and living conditions of the indigenous craftspeople who hand-make every piece.
These pieces are made from a natural, organic fibre and are best preserved when used indoor or covered outdoor only.
