What does this plank hanger look like?
Narrow wooden boards hang in tiers on white cords worked with bead-like knots, and a long tassel finishes the base. The knots give the cords a textured, almost beaded look, while the wood keeps it grounded.
What can it hold?
It is made as a hanging shelf, so it can display books, plants or small decorative items. A mix of a plant, a couple of slim books and a small keepsake makes a relaxed, lived-in display.
How big is it?
The hanger is 45 inches long, and the wooden boards measure 18 x 6. The whole piece weighs under 3 kg, so plan for a hook or bracket that can take the shelf with everything on it.
Where does it work best?
Its length makes it a good fit for a tall stretch of wall, beside a bed, next to a study desk or in a living room corner. It adds storage and display space without taking up any floor area.
Who handcrafts it?
It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra under master artisan Brijbala. Each knot is tied by hand, so small irregularities in the cords and tassel are part of its character.
Is it a good gift?
Yes, as a hanging shelf and a decorative piece in one, it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who likes handmade décor. The person receiving it can fill it with their own books, plants or keepsakes, wherever they choose to hang it.
