Originating from plants such as the Pandanus Spirifis, or screw palm, the youngest branches are stripped of their prickly edges and the fibres dried out in the sun to form the material for this exquisite textile. “I have always been drawn to textiles and what a great opportunity to combine this love with creating furniture, my other passion,” says Walbran, who applied the woven textiles created by the Miligimbi community to the cabinet. “I saw the timber like the frame of a canvas, stretching it across the cabinet’s two doors,” says Walbran, who was keen to ensure the timber edges framing the doors were as fine as possible to allow the textile to be given the maximum exposure it truly deserves.
