The Zila Basket will add beautiful woven texture and character to your walls or table.

If you prefer a neutral palette and lots of white, this stunning handcrafted basket will introduce a touch of raw luxury when hung on the wall or on your table, helping to layer textures and tones in a room. When combined with natural linens, warm timbers and other woven items, it contributes to a feeling of effortless style and a relaxed upscale resort vibe. Pair different sizes of the Zila wall hangings together for an eye-catching statement.

As a functional tray, the Zila works well as a centrepiece on table; on a kitchen island to hold fruit and vegetables; or on the coffee table. This piece is also perfect for adding warmth and personality when displaying a collection of natural found items like seed pods.

Each wall hanging features a unique pattern and is handwoven using the locally-available Ilala palm by a group of women artisans in Zimbabwe. To source these pieces, we have partnered with an ethical craft organisation that is supporting these craftswomen through training, development and finding international markets for their skills.

However you choose to use the Zila, it has been crafted to a high standard for you to enjoy in your home for many years to come.

- This wall hanging weighs approximately 500gms so be sure to use a suitable hook, screw or nail for this weight if you are hanging the tray on the wall.
- Please note that there isn't a loop on the back of this piece so it may require some creativity and the ability to thread a piece of wire through the wall hanging and loop it on the back. Depending on your desire to hang your piece either convex or concave you may need to adjust your hanging techniques accordingly.
