Description
Soft, lightweight, and handwoven in Kenya, this set of 4 cloth napkins is crafted from 100% organic cotton on traditional looms. Narrow green stripes are anchored by warm accent colors of orange and lavender.
Named Maua, the Swahili word for "bloom," the pattern brings a fresh color palette to the table. These napkins are a practical alternative to paper and an easy upgrade for everyday dining.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
