For this collection, we departed for one of the most exotic locations in the world: the paradise that is the Philippines. One of the largest natural riches of this country is the banana tree. The bark of this tree has been used for this unique wallcovering. Cutting down the banana trees is a highly regulated practice. They grow well in the Philippines but only fruit three times. They must then be cut down so that they can grow again. The Carabao collection is made from the bark of the trees that have finished flowering.
This exotic collection is named after the national animal of the Philippines, the carabao or Asian water buffalo.
