Twenty One Tonnes

Thoughtfully crafted pieces for interiors | handwoven lighting, textiles & basketry | designed by Chessa Osburn and Mary Jane Bolton | produced in collaboration with artisan partners in Ghana, Mexico, Japan and Colombia We value objects that are shaped by human hands, that carry stories of the individuals, families, and communities that made them; Pieces that are crafted from indigenous materials collected just outside an artist's door; Tangible expressions of culture, legacy and identity. This value extends to the people who engage in craft, whose voices and experiences we deeply respect and who we believe should be paid well for their work. It extends to local environments, as small scale indigenous craft is intrinsically lighter on the earth than conventional production processes. And this value also extends into the spaces and homes that host these pieces, bringing depth and character that can't be replicated by mass production. This is a process that takes time, that respects place and humanity. And we hope you'll find these values reflected in each piece we offer at Twenty One Tonnes.
