Detail
Product Description
The Liyemi Ntonzi Root Trio is a refined expression of traditional Zambian craftsmanship, elevated through material and form. Handwoven using Ntonzi root, a rare and resilient natural fibre, each basket carries a weight and density that immediately sets it apart.
The tightly coiled construction gives the pieces a sculptural presence, while the blend of ivory, clay brown, and charcoal tones creates a grounded yet sophisticated palette. Designed to complement both modern and heritage-inspired interiors, this trio balances strength with subtle elegance.
No two baskets are exactly alike. Variations in tone, shape, and texture are part of the story, marking each piece as authentically handmade and deeply rooted in craft tradition.
