5. Handpainted Mangowood Trays

We are so inspired with the mangowood stuff, that we are adding a few more to the list. Using mangowood trays as a serveware not only provides eco-friendly satisfaction but also adds uniqueness to the kitchen. It is highly sustainable as mango farmers begin planting new mango trees every 7 to 15 years before the older trees become barren. This creates a cycle of harvesting and plantation and also prevents endangered trees from getting chopped. 

These trays are multi-purpose. They can be used as a sideboard, in dinner service and on your coffee table. They are hand painted by artisans under fair trade conditions. They are ethical, authentic and can be a unique addition in your lifestyle. 

6. Enamelled Mango wood Serveware- Metallica

One of the best collections of serveware and top-selling in every season is this metallica mango wood serveware. It is sustainable, value for money and easy to maintain. When the mango tree stops producing juicy mangoes, then these trees are cut down and made into beautiful furniture and serveware. Cut-down trees are immediately replaced, and only old, fruitless trees are harvested for wood. Other woods like teak which are endangered are also prevented.

We at Boho Homes, add beautiful geometric shapes, lustre and design to the wood which makes these serveware a perfect option to add into the kitchen, gift to your loved ones and add your contribution to nature.
