Handwoven Collection

Sisal Pieces Built for Daily Use, Not Display Cases

Placemats, coasters, and trivets woven from raw fiber and finished without chemical sealants

Every item in this collection was made from a single batch of fiber, processed by hand, and woven on a floor loom. The result is a surface that handles heat, moisture, and repetition without fraying or losing shape.

Heat Resistant

Dense weave patterns create a barrier that protects surfaces from hot cookware straight from the stove or oven.

Natural Finish

No dyes, sealants, or synthetic coatings. The color and texture come entirely from the dried sisal leaf itself.

Built to Last

Tight, consistent weaving resists unraveling under daily use and repeated washing without special care instructions.

Selected Work

A curated set of recent pieces showing the range of weave patterns, densities, and finished forms available from the studio.
Each project below represents a different response to the same material: tight utility weaves for commercial kitchens, open decorative patterns for residential dining rooms, and custom dimensions for specific table settings.

Coastal Lodge Placemat Set

Twelve placemats in a tight herringbone weave, designed for a beachside restaurant that launders daily. The dense pattern repels moisture and resists fraying under commercial use.

Desert Trivet Collection

Six oversized trivets in an open cross-weave pattern, built to handle cast-iron cookware straight from the stove. The uncompressed fiber creates an air gap that protects surfaces from sustained heat.

Herringbone Density

A tight herringbone weave creates a flat, stable surface with no gaps for liquid to seep through. This pattern is used for placemats that see daily use and frequent washing.

Dried sisal fiber strands sorted by length

Fiber Preparation

After stripping and washing, fibers are sorted by length and thickness. Only the longest, most uniform strands become warp thread. Shorter pieces are reserved for weft or stuffing.

Bound Edge Finish

Edges are hand-bound with a continuous fiber wrap that prevents unraveling without glue or synthetic thread. The binding adds weight and structure to the finished piece.

Open Cross-Weave

An open cross-weave pattern creates natural air pockets that dissipate heat. This structure is ideal for trivets and hot pads that need to protect surfaces from sustained high temperatures.

Why We Still Weave by Hand

A machine can produce a thousand identical coasters in an hour. What it cannot do is adjust for the slight variation in fiber thickness that changes how a strand behaves under tension.

Hand weaving means reading the material as you work. A brittle strand is rerouted. A thick section becomes a decorative ridge. The loom does not force uniformity; it accommodates it.

This responsiveness is what gives handwoven sisal its durability. The weave adapts to the fiber, rather than the other way around. The result is a piece that holds together under stress because it was never stressed into an unnatural shape to begin with.

Every item in this collection carries that logic. You will not find perfect symmetry, but you will find a surface that outlasts anything made to look perfect.
