- Leaves, Fruits, and Fibres Collection
- The leaves, fruits and fibres in our surfaces are diverse in origin. These surfaces are selected either because they are a cultivated crop with declining markets, like kapok and tobacco, or they are unused parts of a food crop, like banana bark or coco shells. The raw materials are gathered, sorted and cleaned. They are stripped, cut or pressed to provide a flat surface for inlay. Each piece is inlaid and laminated by hand. The pieces are often of uneven thickness and veins or dense fibres require careful lamination. The colour variation can be extensive within a piece, for example in banana bark or abaca; by season, as with tobacco leaves, or with plant age, as with gugo. This is part of the natural beauty and individuality of each piece.
