Madagascar Star Wall Decor: Radiant Weave, Conservation Story

Woven Light from the Island

Along Madagascar’s east coast, artisans harvest raffia palm, split and sun-dry the fibers, then coil and stitch them into a vivid starburst design. Neutral straw becomes the sky, while plant-based dyes tint select rows in sunset ochre or ocean teal to form eight pointed rays. Every purchase funds Prosperity Wages and partners with the Missouri Botanical Garden, providing local families income that protects—rather than depletes—the island’s fragile forests. Hang this star and you display both natural beauty and a beacon of sustainable progress.

Display Ideas to Make It Shine

• Gallery Wall Hero – Anchor a collection of baskets and prints; the 16-inch diameter draws eyes instantly.
• Solo Statement – Center above a headboard or mantle for organic dimension that beats framed art.
• Table Accent – Lay flat as a base for candles or planters; the raised coils add subtle shadow play.

PRODUCT CARE

• Dust: Wipe with a dry cloth or soft brush.
• Spot Clean: Dab gently with a damp cloth; avoid soaking to keep coils tight.
• Shape Refresh: Mist back lightly with warm water, press flat, air-dry.
• Sunlight: Rotate occasionally—prolonged direct sun may soften dye tones.

ARTISAN NOTES: Exact dye placement, coil tension, and diameter vary slightly by maker, so each star is truly one of a kind. Prefer a specific accent color or size? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest piece.
