Stacked Woven Baskets - Circle of Pattern & Presence – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than a storefront—this arrangement is a woven invocation of rhythm, reflection, and ceremonial welcome.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Pattern & Presence: a curated display of four large cylindrical woven baskets stacked vertically, each adorned with geometric motifs in brown and reddish tones. Behind them, a circular woven wall hanging and a rectangular mirror with a woven frame add depth and movement, reflecting the textures of the pavement and the spirit of the space. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or cultural hosting, this ensemble transforms commerce into storytelling and containment into cultural memory.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the baskets are shaped from sisal and baobab fiber using coiling and patterning techniques that reflect Maasai shield symbolism and sacred geometry. The wall hanging and mirror frame echo themes of visibility, rhythm, and ancestral layering—each piece a vessel of breath and belonging.
