The small café tray draws its inspiration from the intricate jali-screened buildings of Murad Khani, an area rich in history located in Kabul. The jali, characterized by its latticed design, is a significant element in both Hindu and Islamic architecture, showcasing a blend of cultural artistry. These beautifully perforated wooden slabs have been crafted by skilled artisans for generations, serving versatile purposes such as window coverings, room dividers, and balcony railings. Our trivet transforms this timeless style into a modern interpretation, skillfully hand-carved from walnut, a tree native to the Kunar province. This piece not only adds an artistic touch to your space but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship

This masterpiece is made by Afghan artisans whose skill and dedication shine through despite immense challenges. Since the Taliban’s rise to power in August 2021, we have taken steps to ensure the safety of our partners by withholding identifying information. While some artisans have relocated, many remain in Afghanistan, where their craft provides a crucial source of income amid economic and humanitarian struggles. Supporting their work is more important than ever.
