In the atelier, they call him Dadatoa, a word that, in Malagasy, reaches beyond “older uncle.”
It carries respect, wisdom, affection.
He is the oldest among us.
For many, he has become a father.
Not by title, but through what he gives.
Through the way he teaches, corrects, and guides quietly, without ever imposing. His gestures carry years of practice.
His presence brings steadiness.
With him, knowledge is not explained, it is passed on, hand to hand.
Aseho opens in Antananarivo.
From May 4 to August 4, we welcome you to La Plantation to encounter our Living Archives.
A shared space between us, Seconde Main, and you
where conversations unfold, craftsmanship is experienced up close, and where you may encounter the one piece you carry long after.

The gestures that shape your bag are not anonymous.
They belong to artisans whose hands have learned the rhythm of raffia through time, through practice, through transmission.
Each movement is guided by knowledge received from those who came before, techniques observed, repeated, refined, and passed on. The hand remembers, and through it, the gestures continue.
Every piece in our collection begins with a single, singular fibre: our Madagascan raffia.
A living material, gathered with care, chosen for its suppleness and quiet resilience, still carrying the rhythm of the land from which it comes.
Within it resides a knowledge transmitted over time — continually brought to life through the hand.
Braiding has always lived within our cultural memory.
We draw from what once was - from the braids of those before us.
In our atelier, each fiber bends, repeats, remembers.
The hand moves without rupture, as though guided by a path long traced.
At Aseho, these braids are translated into forms shaped for the present, becoming our visual signature.
The invisible school has no walls. In our atelier, transmission doesn’t only descend, it circulates, between generations, between peers, and sometimes from home to atelier. The gesture endures because it moves, hand to hand.
From January 23–29, we welcome you to a curated moment by Maison Pyramide, to meet our Living Archives.
Pieces that carry the trace of the hand,
and keep a lineage of gestures alive.
A moment, a meeting,
between those who make,
and those who recognize the beauty of slow time.
