Totem Abstract Wall Hanging
The Totem Abstract Wall Hanging is a bold fusion of sculptural design and traditional artisan craftsmanship. Inspired by traditional African masks and designed by Swedish designer Julia Gamborg Nielsen, this handwoven wall hanging features a striking stacked silhouette that brings warmth, texture, and artistic character to any space.
Handcrafted by a cooperative of women and men artisans in Malawi using natural palm leaves, each piece celebrates the beauty of handmade weaving and organic materials. Its minimalist geometric form makes it a stunning focal point on its own or layered into a curated gallery wall for a collected, globally inspired look.
Perfect for modern organic, boho, wabi-sabi, and contemporary interiors, this artisan wall hanging adds depth and texture through timeless handcrafted design.
Size: 20" width x 32" height
Materials: Palm leaves
