<h1>A short history</h1>
<p>Raffia has long been a quiet companion to the spaces it inhabits, its presence woven into the fabric of design history with a subtlety that belies its durability. Unlike the ostentatious patterns or bold statements of other materials, raffia’s appeal lies in its understated warmth and tactile presence. Its journey as a wallcovering tradition is one of resilience, evolving through centuries of changing tastes, technologies, and cultural contexts. From the hands of artisans in colonial plantations to the avant-garde studios
