Not only are these gorgeously slick pieces created by skilled locals in Kenya and Rwanda, but every item in the collection is crafted from recycled materials (aluminum from old car parts, brass from found wire and horn salvaged from area butchers). The entire collection can be viewed and purchased at koradesigns.com.
Whether sold as tiny 2-inch tesserae or as gigantic 2-foot slabs, Horn tiles interpret nature using three warm, mingled tones. The thick surfacing of sparkles is polished after application to produce the shiny "under-glass" effect. It creates a very unique and exciting wall treatment which is like a work of art.
Beautiful horn accessories, above, show that their curvy, dramatic shape and sleek form add an exotic element and make an interior exciting.
