Bottega Intreccio Woven Wicker 21st Century Mawa Centerpiece, by Setsu & Shinobu

“A centerpiece draw its inspiration from Nature. Mawa, narrow at the base and wider towards the top, borrows its features from a flower in all its splendor.”

This container reinterprets the archetype of the woven basket in a contemporary way, with ample proportions and organic
asymmetrical forms. The wicker is enhanced by a leather band at the base that gives the object decorative impact. The piece is difficult to make precisely due to the asymmetrical form.

Use and maintenance

All the items are made with raw materials and are guaranteed for interiors.
If it is necessary, they can also be installed outdoors as long as they are
sufficiently protected from atmospheric agents and not directly exposed
to the sunlight or water, in spaces like verandas, gazebos,
arcades or protected spaces.
The raw materials used for weavings could be not extremely
homogeneous due to different physical properties and the items could
have dimensions a bit different from descriptions listed in this document.
The colors could change for the same reasons. Those features are
the demonstration of authenticity of each product that is unique and
handcrafted in Italy by Mogliano’s masters.
Woven wicker is extremely resistant over the years, if it is stored in a dry
place and without excessive temperature changes, and it could also change color or nuances due to its sunlight exposure based-on nature. The weaving
by the craftsman is performed with soft and wet material, an the material dries naturally with the passage of time losing its elasticity.
For this reason, avoid excessive pressures, overloads of heavy weights or impacts. The bases or wooden parts are entirely in solid wood: with the aging they could change in size and present natural micro-cracks. Avoid direct and long exposure to the sun, completely avoid wetting.
About the lamp usage, in normal condition the items don’t require special maintenance.
