Althea CandlesticksThese funky yet elegant floor and table candlesticks come in two sizes, and are made of abaca fibres strung around wire then twisted to shape. In natural and dark the candlesticks look great in groups, stylish used singly and will really add elegance to your dining table, console or shelving unit. We like to mix the colourways for variety, but these candlesticks look equally as fabulous grouped in one colour only – it just depends upon your décor scheme! Abaca is a species of banana that is native to the Philippines. The plant is harvested every 3-8 months for its fibre which is extracted from the leaf sheath around the trunk. These sheaths are then stripped to get the fibres, sun dried, coloured with organic dyes and then spun into twine or woven into tinalak. These products are made by a cooperative of farmers and weavers who keep an age old tradition alive. By buying these products, we are helping their community sustain itself, feed and educate their families and maintain a sense of independence and pride.
