Usiacurí Iraca Baskets
Usiacurí iraca baskets are woven over wire frameworks in Usiacurí, Atlántico, on the Colombian Caribbean, which is what gives them their structured, sculptural volume. Trays, centerpieces, napkin rings and coasters leave the workshop in ten to fifteen days, and dimensions can be set by the table they are made for.
