Star Flower Handwoven Iraca Palm Napkin Ring

Iraca palm and wire form this napkin ring, handwoven into a star-shaped bloom. The palm strands are worked petal by petal over a wire armature that holds the radial form. Finished dimensions measure 3 inches in diameter by 3 inches tall.

Iraca palm features a finely braided, taut texture that delivers crisp, uniform pressure across the skin. Its rigid fiber composition stimulates Merkel disk receptors with precise, low-variance mechanical signals, fostering a sense of tactile grounding and calm focus (Stein & Stanford, 2008). Its breathable structure prevents heat buildup, keeping thermoreceptors lightly engaged without startling shifts (Lumpkin & Caterina, 2007). Similar to linen's structured weave but more rigid, iraca palm excels at providing crisp, predictable contact that may help reduce mental clutter and promote sustained concentration.

Napkin ring use covers everyday table styling and full table service, holding a folded napkin at each seat. The wire core keeps the radial form stable under handling. Woven placemats and table linens pair with it across a coordinated table.
