Decorative paddle – Onquata

Why we like this gift

Perfect for adding a cozy, cabin-like ambiance to your space, a beautifully crafted decorative paddle brings a true sense of authenticity to any interior. Designed and handcrafted by Onquata, a company dedicated to preserving and sharing Indigenous artistry, these paddles are created in collaboration with First Nations artisans, ensuring that each piece carries cultural significance and traditional craftsmanship.

First Nations traditionally decorated paddles with designs that reflected their spiritual beliefs, family ties, and deep connection to nature. Also, colours evoke a sense of warmth and balance, making it an eye-catching yet subtle decorative piece. Whether displayed in a living room, hallway, or cottage retreat, it adds character and storytelling to any decor.

Giving the gift of an Onquata wooden decorative paddle is more than just offering a decorative object—it's a way to support Indigenous entrepreneurship, honour cultural heritage, and bring a piece of authentic craftsmanship into someone's home. Their mission is to inspire people to embrace these paddles as decorative pieces in their homes. They're more than just ornaments, they serve as a bridge between past and present, honouring Indigenous artistry while seamlessly fitting into contemporary spaces.

With a variety of designs and colours available, there’s a paddle to match every decor and personality. Choose one that reflects the recipient’s style, or select a piece that resonates with the stories and traditions it represents. Finally, whether for yourself or as a gift, an Onquata paddle is a timeless addition to any space. They're also a statement of cultural appreciation and artistic excellence of First Nations traditions.
