Women of the Cloud Forest Wood Trivet

Handmade in Nicaragua from sustainably sourced Central American hardwoods, this wood trivet pairs heat protection with a mosaic-like design. Its geometric pattern is made from interlocking slats of tropical wood, including varieties of rosewood, purpleheart, mahogany and walnut. Artisans individually cut, route and hand-polish each block to bring out the contrasting colors and natural grains before fitting the pieces together. The result is a flexible, tri-fold trivet that provides a sturdy resting place for piping-hot pots, pans and serving dishes. And when you’re not using it, the trivet folds up for compact storage. Because no two pieces of wood are exactly alike, each trivet is one of a kind.
