Home Decor from North East India

The materials that shape North East homes are the ones that grow around them: bamboo, cane, water hyacinth, clay and wood. Longpi pottery from Manipur is still fired without a wheel, mixed with serpentine stone and finished by hand, and cane furniture from Assam and Tripura is bent and bound with joinery rather than nails.

Here you will find black pottery and terracotta, bamboo and cane baskets, trays, lampshades and stools, water-hyacinth storage, handwoven cushion covers and runners in traditional motifs, wooden carvings, wall hangings and jaapi-inspired decor. Dimensions and materials are listed by the seller so you can plan around the piece.

Handmade decor varies slightly in size and finish from unit to unit, which is normal for wheel-free pottery and hand-bent cane. Every listing carries its origin state and district, and each shop is verified before it can publish, so you know whether a piece came from Longpi, Sualkuchi or the cane workshops of Agartala.
