Artisan Ilala Palm Table

Handwoven in Zimbabwe using traditional techniques passed down through generations, the Artisan Ilala Palm Table is a beautifully versatile piece designed to bring warmth, texture, and effortless style into your home.

Crafted from sustainably sourced ilala palm, each table is made from naturally dried fibres in soft, creamy tones. The palm leaves are carefully prepared—stripped and sliced into varying thicknesses—allowing artisans to create either fine or more textured weaves, giving every piece its own unique character.

Available in a range of sizes, these pieces can be styled individually or layered together. The larger sizes make striking coffee tables, while the smaller options are perfect as side tables or accent pieces.

Beyond their use as tables, their functional design makes them ideal for a variety of purposes:
• Store towels in the bathroom
• Hold blankets or jumpers in the bedroom
• Use as a waste paper basket in the office
• Style as a planter cover
• Or simply use as a sculptural storage piece anywhere in the home

Perfectly suited to coastal, bohemian, and relaxed contemporary interiors, these tables add both practicality and a grounded, organic feel to any space.

Inlay Handmade Pieces 
As with all things made by hand, these pieces are all unique and small flaws may be present, which adds to the intrinsic character and beauty of each piece. 

Care Instructions ​ 
Wipe your bone or mother of pearl inlay with a slightly damp cloth. If the finish becomes dull over time, apply a small amount of coconut oil and white wax, then buff with a dry cloth. 

Avoid regular household cleaners, as they can damage inlay surfaces. 

Because bone and MOP are naturally porous, high-use items (like coffee tables) should be sealed before use. A clear varnish or polyurethane from any hardware store works well. Made-to-order pieces can be pre-sealed on request for a small additional cost. 

With frequent use (e.g., trays or drawers), the natural expansion and contraction of wood and bone can occasionally loosen small pieces. If this occurs, simply reattach with all-fix or super glue.
