About this vase
There's something about natural wood that a factory-made vase can't copy. This vase is shaped by hand by local artisans in Nigeria, so the grain, tone and small details make each piece slightly different from the next. On its own, it's a sculptural accent for a console table, bookshelf or TV unit. Add a few stems of dried pampas, palm leaves or artificial flowers and it becomes a warm, earthy centrepiece for a dining table or entryway. It pairs beautifully with neutral, rattan and Afro-modern interiors, and it adds texture to rooms that feel a little too flat or white. It also makes a meaningful gift that supports Nigerian craftsmanship. Watch the video above to see the grain up close.
