Raffia Fringed Floor Vase. Made in Uganda. This design was customized for Anthropologie. They wanted a vase shape then made in Ghana out of a softer material (elephant grass) with raffia fringe, an material commonly found in Uganda. To fit budget constraints & logistics, we needed to make the whole piece in one country - I suggested to make it all in Uganda. We trained the raffia weavers to make this shape, with success. The piece is currently sold under the room décor line at Anthropologie.
