Atlántico Woven Hurricane Vase Set of 2 - Natural, Iraca

The Atlántico hurricane vase set features hand-woven iraca leaf construction from Nariño, Colombia, crafted using a diamond weave technique built strand by strand. The open weave structure filters and diffuses candlelight, casting a shifting geometric shadow pattern that varies with the flame's movement. Each vase functions as a hurricane holder, providing wind protection while allowing the particular quality of light through the woven lattice. The natural iraca material gives each piece subtle variation in tone and texture inherent to hand-worked plant fibre.

Hand-woven in Nariño from natural iraca leaf — a pair of hurricane holders that protect a flame from everything except the particular quality of light that passes through a diamond weave at close range.. The weavers of Colombia's high Andean valleys did not design this for candlelight. Candlelight found it. The iraca diamond weave — pulled strand by strand by a hand that has been doing this for the better part of a lifetime — does something in low light that no other material manages. It filters. It diffuses. It throws a geometry of shadow across a table that shifts as the flame moves and never resolves into anything predictable.
