The Togo collection is made by expert weavers in rural Myanmar, where weaving is more than just a job, it is a skill passed down through generations. In farming areas around Yangon, seasonal work is common, but rattan weaving provides a stable income for many families.
These talented artisans weave, frame, sand, and varnish each piece with great care, making every item not just useful but also beautiful.
Making a Togo item takes time, following the principles of slow design. The process begins with selecting the best liana from tropical rattan, which is cut to the right size. A frame is then shaped to ensure accurate dimensions.
Once woven, each item is carefully sanded to create a smooth finish. A protective varnish and hand-painted details are added, followed by a final quality check.
“The whole process from the tree to the basket takes several weeks"
