Wolof women in rural Senegal present a lovely handwoven trivet for your tabletop. Woven from typha stalks (cattails) and plastic strips from a Dakar mat factory, each trivet represents the marriage of traditional Wolof craft to modern synthetic materials. The result is a lovely example of how modern African style seamlessly unites the past and present in a fun, functional way.
