Sturdy yet light enough to whisk around the kitchen to pop freshly cut ingredients into a pan when cooking up dinner for loved ones. And with its striking, hand-carved design, gorgeous enough to function as a conversation-sparking platter when entertaining.

The Makers
Exquisitely hand-carved from mango wood by Mohammed from Saharanpur, India, which is known for its incredible woodwork. Here, origins of the craft can be traced back to the late 19th century.

The craftsmanship requires a selection of simple tools, hours of manual labour and precision.
The Material
Although the mango tree is best known for its delicious fruit, its wood has been used in India for over 4,000 years to construct palaces, temples and mosques thanks to its durability, water-repellent properties, beauty and strength.

Not only is mango wood sustainable, it generates extra income for farmers once the trees have stopped bearing fruit and provides an affordable and easy to work with the material for artisans.
