Black Raffia

Black raffia is a quiet rebellion — traditionally raffia is natural or sun-blonde, but dyed black, it becomes architectural and modern, like lacquered wood or Japanese sumi ink. 

Not your ordinary black tone.

It is the color of pebbles on the beach, sometimes it's the shade of the cloud-covered sky just before the storm, and for some other times, it is the sleek appearance of metal.

Leinné Black raffia is flexible in tones carrying the light from the lustrous natural raffia threads.

Raffia is dyed using natural dyes. A different dosage of each pigment can give a different shade, so there are no two pieces that are exactly the same.

Uneven shade or brownish spots on the black raffia designs are to be expected as the nature of the material.
