It grows in humid places, including ponds, swamps, and lakes. Frogs and dragonflies are among its closest neighbours. So, how does it transform into this beautiful, versatile, and stripped-back Woven Bench (tanho), which you can take to live in the desert? Or use it to slow down the pace, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Helena Novelletto, the young artisan behind this work, it has been a journey towards freedom. She started by learning the craft with Manuel Ferreira, a generous master from Santarém, who wove while recalling the 1974 revolution that ended 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal, telling stories she, born in Brazil, had never heard of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreed from industry, the bunho craft demands only raw nature and her disciplined hands - self-sufficiency. We are sure she is one of the last active bunho artisans, but we hope that her dedication can motivate other artists with sustainable convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the summer, the bulrush is harvested, in its natural habitat, and woven in her workshop in Caldas da Rainha (Estremadura, Portugal), a task that requires all the strength of her arms. Yes, freedom demands hard work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:28px;\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:8px;border-top:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.18);\"\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.18);padding:14px 2px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;font-size:1.02rem;color:#f5f5f5;list-style:none;\"\u003eWhat is this piece?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;color:#cbcbcb;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eWoven bulrush tanho stool by Helena Novelletto in Estremadura.
