What is Seagrass?

Seagrass is a natural, renewable resource. It grows in shallow coastal waters and estuaries, forming dense underwater meadows that protect against erosion and provide a rich habitat for marine life. It is harvested by hand and can regrow within 10 days.

How is Seagrass Used?

The grasses are cut and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. We use both woven seagrass that is twisted together and coiled seagrass that is sewn into place to create light and strong tablemats and bowls.

Its natural water resistance makes it difficult to dye seagrass which is why it is generally only available in its natural shade. We use coloured jute to add colour to our seagrass designs.

Farmed sustainably in Bangladesh, the seagrass used in our designs plays an important part in stabilising the soil and protecting the land from flooding.

Why is Seagrass a Sustainable Material?

Seagrass is an eco-friendly material with a low environmental impact. It's 100% natural, biodegradable, and requires no dyeing. As a carbon sink, seagrass absorbs CO2 at a rate 35 times faster than rainforests. Additionally, it grows rapidly, ensuring sustainable harvesting practices.
