It is undoubtedly that the sustainable and eco-conscious concept is a hot topic right now. And with the new decade kicking off with sustainability in the spotlight, it is no surprise that rattan, cane, natural fiber, and other natural materials are hotter than ever for home interiors, with previews of 2021 lines indicating there is much more to come. However, this new shift of focus on sustainability is more than an interiors trend – it is set to become a way of life.
Banana fiber is a great material for making ornaments and other home accessories. It is also used to make beautiful, strong, and unique furniture. This material adds natural and eco-friendly vibes to your home. Made from the dried, sustainable fibers of the banana leaf plant, and then braided into a rope makes this furniture to have its own characteristics.
Why choose banana fiber?
To Protect the Environment
Banana fiber has a great contribution to our environment. It is because this material is eco-friendly and sustainable. In Indonesia, the banana trunk is used to be a waste and ends up at the landfill straight after the farmer harvested the fruits. However, nowadays this material is used to make furniture, home décor, and even as a textile material. It means, we could minimize cutting the trees to make furniture so that we could protect our forest from deforestation.
To empower artisans
Indonesia, as a manufacturer country for textile, furniture, and craft, absorbs a lot of labor and automatically becomes livelihood for the community. This brings many benefits to them; they can learn new skills and knowledge of changing a waste into products that have a high value. With the knowledge they have, artisans could make a better living for their families and it indirectly affects their quality of life. By buying our hand-made banana fiber furniture and home decors made in Indonesia, you will participate to empower our local community. Because every piece of furniture you purchase gives them a chance to get a better quality of life.
