The Handwoven Home Staple You Didn’t Know You Needed This Summer
Posted on June 09 2025,
As the UK warms up and summer enters full swing, the way we live and style our spaces begins to shift. We open windows, pare back layers, and lean into lighter, airier interiors. That’s why the Dpodpo Handwoven Fan – Natural Grass is fast becoming a seasonal essential—bringing together functional comfort, cultural richness, and timeless design.
A Summer Styling Essential That Actually Works
The Dpodpo Natural Woven Fan is more than just a beautiful object—it’s a versatile piece that helps you stay cool and elevates your home. Use it traditionally as a hand fan on warm days, or let it shine as wall art. With its raw, sculptural form and rich texture, this fan effortlessly adds depth to bare walls, shelves, and gallery clusters.
Measuring approx. 29 x 43cm (excluding the handle), it’s generously sized without overpowering. And because it’s crafted from natural veta veta grass, it fits harmoniously into both minimalist and boho-inspired interiors, offering an earthy focal point with heritage woven into every fibre.
From Rural Ghana to Your Home
Handwoven in Ghana by skilled artisans using traditional weaving techniques, each Dpodpo fan is a one-of-a-kind piece. It’s made during the dry farming seasons when basketry becomes a vital source of income. By supporting these weavers, you’re helping to sustain not only families but generations of craftsmanship passed down through time.
The story behind each fan enriches your home with more than just beauty—it adds intention, heritage, and a meaningful connection to slow, conscious design.
Works with Every Style
Whether your interior leans toward earthy neutrals, boho, or rustic, this woven wall fan brings tactile interest and grounding softness. Its plain, natural tones allow it to stand out against coloured walls or blend in softly with light, neutral backdrops. No matter your palette, the Dpodpo fan is a quiet statement that ties a room together.
Pair It with Other Artisanal Touches
For a cohesive natural look, pair it with our CHAMA and KUNDI Kenyan woven baskets, handmade cotton throws, and cushion covers. Every piece in the Kiota collection is chosen to support thoughtful, layered, and sustainable styling.
This summer, embrace the artistry of slow design. With the Dpodpo Handwoven Fan, you're not only cooling your space—you’re giving it soul.
Until nest time!
