Shed by the desert

From fallen leaves
to flawless cutlery.

Gathered from the date farms of the Emirates after the palm lets them go. Never cut.

Gathered from the date farms of the Emirates after the palm lets them go. Never cut.

The Origin

The palm lets go once a year.

Every date palm in the Gulf sheds its lower fronds as it grows. For centuries they were swept up and burned — millions of tonnes of it, every season, turned into smoke over the sand.

We collect them instead. No tree is cut, no branch is taken. We wait for the desert to hand it over.

A waste stream, only because nobody had looked at it properly.

The Film

From frond to plate.

The whole process, start to finish, in one take — from the desert floor to the press.
