It’s hard to believe these handmade, fair trade pieces from Nicoya Furniture start life as twigs, isn’t it?
That’s right, they’re made from rattan and palm tree twigs, hand inlaid into resin, for a very unique end result. These pieces are the latest additions to the range.

At first glance, you’d think the pieces in the Samara range from Nicoya were made from wood – look again! These distinctively designed pieces are hand crafted from a unique combination of discarded materials, rattan and palm twigs, moulded and finished with a polished resin. This handmade collection equates to minimal energy waste and environmental impact as no machines are used in the craftsmanship, low allergy resin is used, and the pieces are made to Fair Trade principles. The philosophy behind the range is about providing well designed, unique, high quality, hand crafted furniture created from sustainable organic materials. LOVE IT!
