Artwicker Malawi

Handcrafted decor — wicker baskets, natural fibre wall hangings, wooden furniture — demands more care in a coastal climate than inland. Artwicker Malawi brings in pieces made by artisans across Southern Africa, and the work involved in getting them here and keeping them in condition is real. The humidity and salt-spray risk near the Cape means these items need proper placement and occasional maintenance. Staff here understand which pieces suit covered stoeps, which work indoors, and how to advise on seasonal rotation. Each basket and timber piece carries the maker's signature, so there's an added layer of thought in sourcing — not just what looks good, but what will last and age well in Stellenbosch's particular environment.
