Know before you buy
The trivet is round and measures approximately 10 inches in diameter, making it a versatile size for standard cookware or decorative wall arrangements.
Yes, it is designed as a functional trivet to protect your surfaces from heat. However, because it is crafted from natural grasses, it is best suited for standard kitchenware rather than extremely high-heat cast iron directly from a burner.
The flexible nature of the woven grass allows you to easily slide a small nail or picture hook through the weave on the back of the trivet. It is lightweight enough to be displayed individually or as part of a gallery wall.
Because each piece is individually handwoven by artisans in Rwanda using natural materials, slight variations in color, texture, and pattern are expected. This ensures your trivet is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation.
To clean, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the natural fibers over time.
