What are the two colours on this plank holder?
The body is cream, knotted in leaf-shaped knots, and teal braided strands run down both sides like a frame. The teal gives a fresh edge to the cream and picks up the green of any plant you place on it.
How long is it, and how big is the plank?
The holder is 24 inches long and the plank is 5 x 16 inches, enough for a pot or two side by side. Pots are not included, so you can match planters to the teal and cream.
What goes well with the teal?
Green plants, wooden furniture and white or grey walls all pair well with it. Terracotta or white pots keep the look simple and let the leaf knots show, while the teal strands frame whatever you place on the plank.
What can I keep on the plank?
A potted plant, a small lamp or a decorative piece. Keep the load light, and let a trailing plant fall over the fringe for a softer look that brings the cream and teal knotting together.
Is it made by hand?
It is hand-knotted in cotton at the IndieHaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra, under master artisan Brijbala. Small irregularities in the knots are natural, and colour hues may vary slightly on screen.
