Bhaca Planter
Designed by Andile Dyalvane for Indigenus.
A deeply personal range from ceramicist Andile Dyalvane, Bhaca reflects his Xhosa roots and his mastery of clay. Andile sculpted the original vessels in clay, cutting into the surface and pushing the cuts open where they meet; they were then scanned and scaled up into large glass reinforced concrete planters. Bhaca is the Xhosa word for scarification, the traditional practice of marking the skin for initiation, clan identity or healing.
The twist of the form and the slashing strokes run around every side, so each Bhaca reads as a sculpture from any angle. Set in a cluster they have real presence.

Built to last
- Self-watering liner with a water-level gauge. The reservoir can keep plants watered for up to four weeks.
- Glass reinforced concrete, around twenty times stronger than standard concrete yet lighter than a solid planter of the same size.
- Indoors or out: made to handle frost, heat and rain. Fit the plug indoors; remove it outdoors so rainwater tops up the reservoir.
- Soft-touch feet protect floors and carpets.
- Plants can be potted into the liner off-site, then dropped into the planter once it's in place.
