This olive wood plate from Aarven is both stylish and sustainable. Hand carved in Kenya. This is a great addition to any modern kitchen and has so many uses. Imagine our olive food plate in the centre of your coffee or dining table, neatly adorned with fresh fruit or bread straight from the oven. The curved edges are an excellent feature, retaining rounder foods (such as grapes) and giving it a contemporary style.

Who made your plate? The contemporary wooden products are hand carved in a Nairobi workshop run by one of the founders of the popular Maasai market in Westlands, Zephania.

These items are made from wild olive wood that is all sustainably sourced from Zephania’s own plantations in his hometown, Kissi, where he continually re-plants trees.

This product comes from the AARVEN brand, previously known as Artisans and Adventurers.
