Against the drawing

Measured with a digital calliper forty-eight hours after the weaving finished, at 22 °C and 50–60% relative humidity. Natural fibre moves with humidity; the same piece read in a damp room measures larger.

We do not grade pieces by how close they came, and this one costs exactly what its opposite number costs. Why

This piece, close up

The weave and rim of ON-D-01 in close-up. Woven out from a ten-point cross; the closing stake sits at two o’clock under the border.
The weave, and where it starts
The visible flaw on ON-D-01: The disc is 6 mm out of round across the two measured axes. A splinter has lifted on the back face near the hanging loop.
The flaw, not retouched
ON-D-01 photographed beside a ruler so you can judge its size against the published 511 mm.

The weaving is hand work on every piece here — that is the premise of the shop. The other six steps vary, and we say which is which rather than calling the whole thing handmade. Where we draw the line

Four things that belong to this one only

Where the weave runs
Woven out from a ten-point cross; the closing stake sits at two o’clock under the border.
How the colour falls
A darker arc runs through the outer third on the left, from a second cane bundle.
What you can see wrong with it
The disc is 6 mm out of round across the two measured axes. A splinter has lifted on the back face near the hanging loop.

What this material does over time

The long version →
Cracking
Rattan and bamboo lose water in a heated or air-conditioned room and split. Keep the room between 40% and 65% relative humidity.
Deforming
Loaded or hung for long enough, a woven wall dishes and a rim pulls out of round. The carrying figure below is the figure, not a suggestion.
Darkening
Undyed fibre in daylight turns deeper and greyer. That is oxidation and it does not reverse.
Mould
Above about 75% relative humidity, natural fibre grows mould. Dry it, brush it, and treat it early.
Insects
Plant fibre can be bored by insects. We do not claim any piece is proof against them.
Burrs and broken strands
Strands lift and break with use. Trim a burr flush and splice a break with repair cord.
