Description
Camo is a round side table woven entirely from water hyacinth, 46cm across and 46cm tall. The top is coiled in a tight spiral and finished with an open, looped edge, and it rests on a short, narrow neck above a solid woven drum that forms the base, so the whole piece reads as one continuous weave from top to floor. Water hyacinth is a plant fibre that twists into a thick, rope-like strand, which gives the surface a chunky texture you notice as much by hand as by eye. The colour is natural, and the twisted strands give the weave a gentle play of light and shadow.
At 46cm tall it sits at a comfortable height beside a sofa, an armchair or a bed, close enough to reach a book, your glasses or a phone. The maker gives a maximum load of 5KG, so it is made for light things: a small lamp, a potted plant, a stack of paperbacks or a vase of dried stems. The round top has no corners to catch a knee in a tight living room or bedroom, and at 2.75KG the table is easy to lift and move to wherever you want a surface for the evening. It sits well among linen, wool and other woven pieces, whether on its own in a reading nook or beside floor cushions and a pouf.
Care is simple: the maker's advice is to wipe it clean with a moist cloth. Water hyacinth is a natural fibre, so each piece varies a little in tone and in the line of its weave, and no two tables are quite alike. For styling, keep the top simple: one plant or a small lamp leaves the spiral weave on show around it, and a second woven piece nearby, such as a basket, picks up the same texture across the room. The styling props shown are not included.
