Description
This is tall wall decor made from 100% banana leaf: a single leaf form on a slender stem, shaped much like a long feather. A central spine runs the length of the leaf, and fine beige strands fall away on each side of it, loose and softly fringed at the edges, so it brings real texture rather than a flat outline. It measures 135.5cm long and 25cm across at its widest, which is tall enough to read from across a room, yet at 0.2KG it is light enough to lift and reposition easily.
Its length suits it to standing on the floor: lean it against a wall beside an armchair, next to a bookcase or in the corner of a hallway, where the stem lifts the leaf well clear of the skirting. It works in a living room, a bedroom or a reading nook, and anywhere a bare stretch of wall needs height without the bulk of a framed print or a large plant. The beige fibre sits comfortably with rattan, woven seagrass, linen and plaster walls, and it softens a room built on hard lines. It suits anyone who likes a relaxed, textural home, and because it needs no water or light, it gives the outline of a tall plant in a spot where a real one would struggle.
The leaf is built around that central spine, with the strands gathered along it so the shape stays balanced on both sides, and the stem continues below the leaf to give the piece its height. Banana leaf is a natural plant fibre, so the tone and the fall of the strands vary a little from piece to piece, and no two look quite the same. For a fuller look, lean two at slightly different angles, or set one beside a low woven stool or a tall vase so the stem has company at floor level.

Frequently Asked
What material is it?
It is made from 100% banana leaf, a natural plant fibre that gives the leaf its soft, loose, softly fringed texture and its beige tone.
How big is it?
It is 135.5cm long and 25cm across at its widest, so it is a tall piece for leaning against a wall rather than a small accent for a shelf.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.2KG, so it is very light and easy to lift, reposition or carry into another room whenever a change appeals.
What colour is it?
It is beige, a soft tone that sits easily alongside rattan, linen, seagrass and other woven pieces in a relaxed, textural room.
Will every piece look exactly the same?
Not exactly. Banana leaf is a natural material, so the tone and the way the strands fall vary slightly, giving each piece its own character.
Which rooms does it suit?
It suits a living room, bedroom, hallway or reading nook, wherever a bare wall needs height and some soft texture beside a chair, bookcase or stool.
