MATERIAL

Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) is a sustainable material prized for its structural integrity, rapid renewability, and minimal environmental impact.

This grass grows along the banks of rivers, streams and swampy areas in Ghana and throughout West Africa. It grows, matures and tussles like wheat, with a broom-like flower at the top. To harvest the straw, each broom is pulled down from the husk and is left on the ground to grow into new tussles. The straw is harvested wet and then dried in the sun in preparation for the weaving process.

The long, sturdy fibers of Pennisetum purpureum create a lightweight weave that softens and diffuses light beautifully.
