The charmingly eclectic Ayo pendant features a dark rattan wood-effect weave design and is complete with a painted black metal frame. It's ideal for giving any room in your home a feel of nature. The raffia fibre is taken from raffia palm trees that grow in tropical regions with wet soil in Madagascar, Africa and the Philippines. The raffia palm features long leaves that can reach up to 60 feet. The leaves are stripped and dried in the sun to create the beige colour we're accustomed to. The raffia fibre is soft, strong, durable, easy-to-dye and it's biodegradable making it fantastic for weaving baskets, hats, mats and other produce.
