The story of Risi — Tablemat
The Risi Tablemat is a celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and togetherness.
Each mat is handwoven from elephant grass, a natural and sustainable resource locally harvested in the southern part of Ghana. After harvesting, the grass is sun-dried, then carefully split vertically. Each strand is twisted tightly by hand before weaving begins.
For this design, a double-weave technique is used. This means the twisted straw is untwisted again just before weaving, creating a richer texture and stronger structure. This preparation process takes longer than the weaving itself, highlighting the time, patience, and skill behind every mat.
Natural, Durable & Stylish
Strong yet elegant, the rise table placement is designed to last while adding a refined, organic look to your table. Its unique pattern and natural scent bring a sense of calm and connection to nature, making it a true centerpiece for your dining space.
