      Black and White Decorative Woven Baskets

      These baskets don’t whisper.

      Graphic, sculptural, and woven with absurd precision, each one is a masterclass in contrast. Created by Indigenous Wounaan and Embera artists using palm fiber and natural dyes, they’re made to hit hard—on shelves, walls, and anywhere bland might try to exist.

      Q&A: Black and White Baskets

      Black and white baskets are handwoven art pieces created by artisans from Panama, Colombia, Rwanda, and Ghana. Using natural fibers and dyes, each basket highlights bold contrasts—stripes, spirals, and diamonds—that make the patterns timeless and modern at once.

      Their minimal palette emphasizes form, balance, and precision. Collectors and interior designers prize them as one-of-a-kind statement pieces, versatile enough to work in both contemporary and traditional interiors.

      Wounaan and Embera baskets are woven from Werregue and Chunga palm fibers, dyed with natural pigments. Rwandan baskets combine sisal with sweetgrass for striking coiled spirals. Ghanaian baskets are woven from elephant grass, finished in deep black and natural tones. All are made from responsibly harvested materials.

      Timing depends on origin and scale. A finely stitched Wounaan basket can take months or years. A coiled Rwandan basket or sculptural Ghanaian piece may take weeks. Each basket represents patience, rhythm, and mastery.

      Yes. All fibers are natural, and the work provides direct support for artisan communities across Latin America and Africa. Purchasing these pieces sustains cultural traditions and provides income for families.

      Their timeless design makes them perfect for gallery walls, table centerpieces, or large sculptural accents. Keep them out of direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth to preserve the fibers and contrast.

      Meanings vary by culture. For Wounaan and Embera, black and white motifs echo ancestral body painting and spiritual protection. In Rwanda, spirals and diamonds reflect unity and resilience. Ghanaian black and natural weaves emphasize strength and form. Across cultures, the contrast represents balance and harmony.
