In the Pemba and Monze districts of Zambia's Southern Plateau, skilled Batonga women craft iconic baskets from locally harvested palm leaves and wild twigs by first weaving palm leaves into a characteristic square to begin, and then radiating outward to create dramatic patterns.. These deep baskets make a lovely all-natural tabletop storage for fruit and vegetables, or anything else your heart desires. The dancing basket develops bumps and bends while being handcrafted, which produces its unique sculptural organic shape.

Responsibly sourced and thoughtfully crafted with local palm leaves and twigs by fair trade artisans in Zambia.

Swahili African Modern features modern design through their artisan woven baskets and decor. Their pieces are handcrafted by artisans from the comfort of their villages with locally-harvested, sustainable, natural, and upcycled materials. They are fair trade certified by Fair Trade Federation and pay their artisans well above the living wage. Swahili African Modern helps the women artisans find a more secure market for their products and build greater prosperity in the region.
