DIADOTA Laki Wooden Plate

Inspired by the traditional practices of the Lobi people of Burkina Faso, our Leila Wooden Plate honors the longstanding West African tradition of wooden homeware as symbols of unity, community, and cultural heritage. In the Lobi culture, wooden vessels are much more than functional items; they are expressions of identity and connection, used to serve family and guests in a spirit of hospitality that binds people together. Wooden homeware like this embodies an appreciation for natural materials and craftsmanship passed down through generations. 

Our plate is crafted from mango wood sourced in Kenya’s Eastern Province, where sustainable harvesting practices are observed. The wood's rich grain and smooth, organic finish make each piece unique and visually striking. The oval shape not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also holds symbolic value in African culture, representing a communal space and shared experience. Ideal as a serving piece or a centerpiece, this plate seamlessly blends functionality with the beauty of tradition.
