The collection is made using locally-sourced materials and consists of flower vases, pots and a light. In designing a new platform, the goal was to only implement locally found materials in order to keep the process possible and accessible. Coiled consists of a series of interior accessories that finds inspiration in traditional ceramic vessels – earth wares constructed by hand coils of clay.The intricate beadwork of the Siyazama women, in both pattern possibilities and color, is reminiscent of the inherently scaled skin of a serpent. Each piece is made by encircling the serpentine beaded coils, like the natural movements of a boa constrictor, into the resulting form of a unique interior accessory.More here
