The plateau basket features striking colors and traditional motifs. The artisan crafts each one-of-a-kind basket by hand - using needles and fine plant threads. The technique requires patience, precision and great skill to master. The women at our partner cooperatives are bringing their products into the US - and your home - for the first time.
Impressive Quality.
Our team has ventured across Africa and never found baskets of higher quality. The Art Institute of Chicago and US Holocaust Memorial Museum carry these products in their museum stores in recognition of their artistic and cultural significance.
A Stunning Centerpiece.
Plateau baskets add a colorful, cultural dynamic to your home or office. Whether spicing up your coffee table or gracing your wall (from a hanger on the back of the basket), you're paying the greatest respect possible to their Rwandan creators and their timeless works of art.
Tell a Story.
After visiting our website to learn more, you can join in the African storytelling tradition by telling others about the plateau baskets and their artisans. Stand apart from the crowd and feature your own piece of a rich culture.
Make a Difference.
The women at Indego Africa partner cooperatives previously earned less than $1 per day and support an average family of five, including orphans of the genocide. Thanks to your purchase of this product, they now earn over four times that amount and gain valuable long-term skills.

| |  Indego Africa's wine coasters and agaseke baskets were featured at the 2008 Academy Awards as part of the "Gifting for a Cause" gift bags given to more than 70 celebrities, such as April Scott of CSI: Miami (right). The gift suites are "exclusive and very selective" and Indego Africa's participation reflected their mission of "devis[ing] a gift that was trendsetting, philanthropic, multicultural and of personal interest to the celebrities."
