Artisan Mat, Fan & Basket Ensemble - Circle of Pattern & Presence – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).

More than a market display—this arrangement is a woven invocation of rhythm, color, and ancestral artistry.

Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Pattern & Presence: a radiant ensemble of circular woven mats, fan-shaped ceremonial pieces, and black-and-white baskets, laid out on a blue cloth across tiled pavement. The mats range from natural beige to bright orange and multicolored spirals, while the fans burst with geometric threadwork in vibrant tones. A circular mirror with a woven frame anchors the scene in breath and reflection. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or ceremonial hosting, this collection transforms texture into celebration and color into cultural pride.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, each mat, fan, and basket is crafted from sisal, baobab fiber, and dyed raffia using coiling and plaiting techniques. The spiral motifs echo Maasai shield symbolism and sacred geometry, while the fans reflect seasonal rhythm and festive care. The woven mirror evokes continuity and breath, grounding the ensemble in visual and spiritual clarity.
