This piece showcases the charm of a bamboo crafting component called "Masa". This material is mainly used for edges, and, in contrast to the woven bamboo strips, it is narrower with significant thickness.Although it usually plays a supporting role, it was crafted with the intention of highlighting its appeal.

 

Some of the bamboo joints have been retained, which help support objects placed on top at specific points. The bamboo joints are also heat-resistant, ensuring that they won't get scorched even if hot objects are repeatedly placed on them.

​

Beyond serving as a trivet, it can also be used to hold a flower vase, or when not in use, it can be hung on the wall as an artistic piece. I hope you enjoy it as wall art as well.
