The seed of an idea for TANORA was planted during a road trip along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road in 2014. Owners Manon and Will, newly arrived from Madagascar and enchanted by the Australian coastline, imagined the handicrafts of their generations-owned family raffia workshops transformed into products suited to the beach-loving Australian lifestyle.
Realising a cherished dream, today TANORA is the celebration of Malagasy artistry with a fresh Australian aesthetic and sustainable conscience.
We have partnered with TANORA on a 3 piece limited edition capsule, Palamós. For the first time we have dressed our coveted glassware with natural raffia coats. Skillfully and sustainably hand woven by the Tanora Atelier in Madagascar, where the finest raffia grows and lives, the limited edition collection is designed to enchant and elevate everyday rituals.

What inspired your designs for the Maison Balzac collaboration pieces?
The conversations with Maison Balzac Founder Elise. Her vision for the Cadaqués collection and Palamós pieces. was precise; she took me on a vivid journey, even if I have never been to that part of Spain, it was crystal clear. The designs came naturally.

What is your most treasured raffia piece you own and why?
The Lafike rug! It is the TANORA piece that I cherish the most in my home. Raffia feels very special to the touch. Walking barefoot on a raffia rug is almost meditative, firm and soft at the same time. For me, it is a childhood memory rushing back.
