About Water Hyacinth
 
Water hyacinth (Eicchornia crassipes) is a prolific free floating aquatic plant which up until now has long menaced the water ways of Thailand and other South East Asia nations. It has the ability to double in just two weeks, forming a mesh on the river surface choking aquatic life, blocking dams and making fishing and irrigation impossible. Large amounts of public money are spent each year in the countries affected to remove water hyacinth plants from the water to eradicate this water pollution.

The plants are dried and smooth, soft textured ropes are then plaited onto durable, hardwood frames. This converts this natural material into beautiful furniture pieces providing an excellent eco-friendly solution.
