Bhaca Medium

Rs. 177,500

Description

The Bhaca is a completely personal and original range of stone planters that reflect ceramicist Andile Dyalvane’s connection to his Xhosa roots while celebrating his mastery of an elemental material of choice – clay. Bhaca - meaning scarification - is a Xhosa traditional method of finely cutting skin (usually on the cheeks) to mark initiation, clan identification or healing. Andile’s desire is to preserve and share his cultural roots of this ancient tradition by cutting into clay and pushing open the cuts where they intersect as if to open the flesh. The Bhaca has been electronically scanned and scaled from smaller clay vessels to form big impactful shapes made from stone that share this story with the world.

BRAND INFO

Founded in 2014, Indigenus has collaborated with South Africa’s top designers to create planters that are art pieces in their own right. In 2022, they expanded their collaborations to include internationally renowned designers. Committed to sustainability and luxury quality, Indigenus aims to create planters that last a lifetime. Through years of refinement and setting up a world-class in-house manufacturing facility, they ensure the highest quality craftsmanship.

All materials are sustainably sourced, and each planter is handmade, showcasing Indigenus's exceptional craftsmanship. Each range of planters is unique, illustrating the transformative impact of sculptural planters on architecture and landscapes. The stable, grounded designs made with natural materials express a close connection to the earth, reflecting our relationship with the natural world.

All Indigenus planters include a liner designed for planting. These liners are proportionate to the size of the planters and feature a water reservoir at the base, allowing roots to grow into it. Through capillary action, water is drawn up into the soil. Water levels in the reservoir can be monitored with the cap gauge, and a plug in the liner must be removed if the planter is exposed to rainfall. The drawings illustrate the sizes and capacities of these liners.
