WILLOW
Some of mankind’s earliest tools may have been
made from willow.
In PIGMENT FRANCE’s creations, willow
wicker is used almost as a textile by our artisans
in northern France. The structure is made
of rigid willow sticks (the ‘stake’ material), around
which thinner fexible rods are woven (the ‘strand’
material). By using only Osier (Salix Viminalis),
perhaps the most valued of the wild willows,
that is locally sourced, we pride ourselves
on making a quality, eco-friendly product.
