At the heart of our “Telephone Wire Basketry” collection, dive into the authenticity of our creations. Our passion for design harmoniously merges with the exceptional expertise of our Zulu artisans, hailing from farming communities.

At AS’ART, we offer an exclusive variety of Zulu telephone wire baskets, each representing a harmonious fusion of modern aesthetics and traditional techniques.
