How to unfold and hang a Juju hat

Here's a little "How To" post. It's about time right? 

1. A folded juju hat, that's how it is shipped and will arrive to you (wrapped in bubble in a solid box of course)

2. The b string is what you will need to "unwrap" (do not cut any strings!)

3. Once the b string is unwrapped you will push in the center d of the raffia support, placing both your hands as in the image your fingers grasping the raffia ring while your thumbs push in the center, you can also push with your knee, especially for the large once (as I was taking the photo my other hand was holding the camera)

4. The feathers will unfold like a flower, push all the way till the center sort of pops out.

1. Once the juju hat is unfolded you will place the feathers, they were all wrapped up so they need to "breath" now.

2. You can move the outer raffia sticks (covered in textile), do this to better place the feathers*

3. Once the outer feathers nicely placed brush out the inner feather. Do this by simply caressing them into place.

4. All set. Plant a nail where you want to hang the juju hat and hang onto the thread loop c tied on the raffia support ring.

* Notice I have marked thread a , this is an essential thread in the juju hat. It is the tread that holds the outer raffia sticks together, each stick sewn to the other. Make sure to NEVER cut this thread (as all others) but if your juju hat were to be a little too loose, this thread can be tightened. The process must be done very carefully but is far from complicated. Simply untie the knot, making sure that you don't undo the thread from the raffia stick, tighten the outer raffia sticks and retie the knot. Please note that if you were to tighten too much the hat will stand out more and be less flat so I suggest not tightening too much.

A special little tip that I've found very helpful. To fluff out your juju hat BLOW DRY it. Don't wet the headdress just blow dry it. The feathers will fluff up some. Especially useful when setting the outer feathers that have been bent some back into place after they've endured the shipping.

Last but not least, I suggest one treats the juju hats every three to four months against moths. Either use an anti moth spray found in most drugstores or place cedar wood behind the headdress. One can also put the headdress in the freezer over night or out in the freezing cold on a winter night.

Six natural color Juju hat wall installations

Since I first started creating wall installations with the different color and size juju hats I have had fantastic feed back. I've created juju hat installations according to a specific environment, working directly with clients or respecting a specific budget.  Below are six installations with 5 to 10 juju hats. I have used a selection of natural color juju hats in mini, small and standard. Each composition can be ordered as is or if you wish, and depending on stock, can be altered.

The Juju Table

It's been a long journey of wonderful moments past, mostly in my kitchen, drinking endless amounts of tea to come up with the Kronbali Juju Table by Quint by Design & Daughters. The whole idea began just about a year ago, Jean-Marc imagined the feathers off the wall at a different eye level. In collaboration with Quint by Design & Daughters a first, then second, then third... draft of the Juju Table was made. What seemed at first easy turned out to be much harder than expected. We wanted something stunning that brought a different dimension to the juju hats. Like the juju hat it needed to be easy to set up and ship. We also wanted something that could be proposed in different sizes and colors. We are so happy to present to you THE KRONBALI JUJU TABLE by Quint by Design & Daughters.

Made of 22 mm beech tree faced plywood and a tempered glass top.

Lacquered in dark brown, cherry wood or neutral.

The Juju Table comes in four flat pieces.

Three pieces of wood, a circular tempered glass plate and a juju hat.

The juju hat is placed on a round piece of wood within the feet and the glass is placed on top.

Diameter: 80 cm or 120 cm

Height: 45 cm

Handmade in France

The two sizes of Juju Tables will be exposed on our stand at the Maison & Objet Paris fair Hall 1 stand F 52.

When two friends get together

When Mathilde Labrouche from Coté Pierre and I get together we eat, drink champagne, talk, laugh tons and combine our various found objects.
Whilst Jean-Marc and I go to Africa and Asia, Mathilde, amongst many other projects, travels to Eastern Europe hunting down antique and vintage objects. She transforms some of them into amazingly contemporary objects such as her lamps (3). Other pieces, quite on the contrary, she leaves exactly as she found them, and the beauty of time is thus conserved (13).

All the pieces below are for sale. If you would like to purchase an object, would like the price list or would like more information, send me an e-mail here I'll get right back to you. 

With Christmas coming up, we even gift wrap and ship directly to your chosen address, simply request in your e-mail.

Happy shopping!

This sale is now over and thank those who participated.

Juju and more...

First introduction to an exceptional collaboration between Kronbali and Quint by Design & Daughters

Jean-Marc (founder of Kronbali, also my dear husband) & I had the idea of creating a "Juju Table"since quite a while. Bringing the Juju hats to a different eye level was an objective we really didn't want to loose. During a visit of Quint by Design & Daughters we discussed the idea, within a few days the discussion became a project and now the project a reality!
