Teak flat bowl rimmed with raffia 20 cm

Key measurements, to find the right location:

• Diameter: 20 cm
• Height: 6 cm
• Weight: 1.5 kg

Everything you need to know about the materials:

• Base carved from a single piece of solid teak, with visible knots and cracks
• Edges overcast with raffia through hand-drilled holes
• Tight raffia bolster protecting the rim
• Raffia is not washable, for dry foods or decorative use only
• Diameter 20 cm, height 6 cm, 1.5 kg
• Thick base, the bowl won't tip over

Raffia stitching changes the object's status: it immediately signals handcrafted work, whereas a plain wooden cut might pass for a mass-produced item. It's a detail noticed up close and worth displaying at eye level, on a console or shelf.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Never run the cut raffia under water, as it will stretch and the stitching will loosen.
• Slightly damp cloth on the teak base only
• Dry brush on the raffia rim
• Push any loose strands back into place with tweezers
