Handmade, one by one, by the Zulu people of South Africa, they illustrate the ability of these crafters to apply their ancestral tradition of weaving natural fibers to create a contemporary and modern object using an industrial and practical recycled material, in stunning and graphic shapes and patterns.
The construction of these telephone wire trays is interesting because, unlike traditional basketry, where you start at the centre and finish at the edges, it is the opposite with these contemporary baskets. You start with the edge, which is reinforced with wire, and finish in the center. When you look closely at the center of these trays, you will not see any trace of this finish. Impressive craftsmanship.
100% telephone wire.
