haldane martin



i love this link i found via great green gods, (one of the blogs that were listed in the giveaway yesterday). its the zulu mama cafe chair by haldane martin, "an exploration of an indigenous zulu basket weaving technique adapted for recycled plastic. the baskets express the archetypal feminine activity of gathering, an appropriate gesture for cafe seating. the weaving work contributes to the economic empowerment of rural women". i also like their riempie series inspired by early cape dutch furniture (below).
