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 HIGHLIGHT
Each one of Indigenus’ creations is meticulously crafted – smooth, clean lines are drawn from raw, honest materials of hardwood, cork and concrete. A recognisable aesthetic runs through each collection created by Indigenus. Designs are strikingly pared-back and restrained, with bold, simple silhouettes contrasting against tactility and earthiness. Underpinned by a deep knowledge of both landscape design and plant care and maintenance, Indigenus’ planters are not only aesthetically uplifting, they are also crafted to be lightweight and easily transportable, with removable linings and water reservoirs to ensure they function beautifully too.

DESIGNED BY
Andile Dyalvane
Widely considered one of South Africa’s foremost ceramic artists, Dyalvane was born in 1978 in the small village of Ngobozana, near Qobo-Qobo in the Eastern Cape, He grew up farming and looking after his father’s cattle herd – developing a deep connection to the land and his Xhosa culture that resonates powerfully through his work today. His medium of clay, or umhlaba (mother earth). is at its most fundamental a life-affirming connection to the soil.
