I'm really excited to share our newest designs from Ghana. I loved collaborating on these colourful hand carved pieces with Abdulai and his team in Accra. They're a great example of my passion for combining traditional craftsmanship with AARVEN's contemporary colour palette to come up with something rooted in the culture where they were crafted but bold enough to compliment a modern interior scheme.
Introducing our new mini sun masks and crocodile masks — hand carved from false rubber tree wood and painted by hand in the most wonderful colours. Fluoro pink, tonal blues and our favourite warm mustard and orange.
The mini sun masks are new — at 30cm across, they're the perfect size for a children's bedroom, a gallery wall, or anywhere that needs something beautiful and a bit joyful. The crocodile masks are a new colourway release on an old favourite.
I've been working with Abdulai's team for several years and every time a new shipment arrives I'm reminded of what makes his pieces so special — the precision of the carving, the confidence of the colour and the beauty in every one being slightly different, reflecting the skilled hands that carved it.
They're live on the website now here: https://aarven.com/collections/summer-sun-edit
