Small Papeete Canister by J Kent Martin for Cyan Design
$155.00
Description
The Papeete Collection is a nod to the beauty of island life and the natural world. Named after the capitol of Tahiti, each piece within this collection features uniform walnut-stained rattan strands, tightly wound around an MDF substrate form and then coiled onto the top of the design. This intricate technique reflects the skill and dedication of Philippine artisans who handcraft these unique pieces. A lid that overlaps the base for a tight fit and a stripped rattan-wrapped top ring create a cohesive design that resonates with the spirit of nature. This oversized lidded canister is an artistic representation of the beauty of tropical life and is scaled to display a table lamp.
