Rigid, water- and oil-resistant — holds everything from curries to cake without bending.

Reheat or chill straight in the ware. Built for real meals, not just looks.
The range
Two materials. Endless tables.
Areca Palm
Heat-pressed from naturally fallen areca (betel) palm sheaths. Rigid, wood-grained, and quietly beautiful — round and square plates, bowls, trays and cutlery.

Bagasse
Moulded from sugarcane fibre left after juicing. Smooth, bright and sturdy — plates, bowls and compartment trays that take heat, oil and sauce in stride.

From a fallen leaf to your table — and back to the earth.
No tree is ever cut. We collect areca sheaths that fall on their own, wash them in nothing but water, and heat-press each piece into shape. Use it once, then let it compost — leaving the soil richer than we found it.
