Banana Leaf Nesting Trays - Woven Set of 3
Three woven trays that bring the table to life. Hand-gathered banana leaf is woven into this graduated set of three nesting trays - functional art that works as hard as it looks good. The medium and large cradle a 9x13 baking dish to keep dishes warm at the table; the small one corrals mail, keys, or keepsakes. Choose a graphic chevron weave or classic natural.

Azizi Life works with more than 760 artisans across about 60 cooperatives in rural Rwanda, each group specializing in traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Every piece is made by hand from local natural materials - sisal, forest grasses, banana leaf, and local wood - so small variations are part of the craft. Through fair-trade partnerships, the work provides steady income for artisan families and helps fund community programs like adult literacy.
