We are excited to introduce Orbit, the newest addition to our Collectables Portfolio, first showcased earlier this year at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair.
We first introduced telewire into our material language more than five years ago when we began collaborating with Bab Alfred Ntuli, a master wire weaver whose decades of experience brought a remarkable depth of knowledge to the process. His own journey with telewire began in 1976.
Like most creative processes, the path required patience and iteration. Ideas were tested, reshaped, and sometimes abandoned before finding their way again. At one point, Bab Alfred almost stepped away entirely. The pressure of developing a collaborator’s idea can feel overwhelming – especially when you find yourself in that murky middle where you’ve come too far to stop, but the end is still unclear.
Bab Alfred has since passed away, but his legacy continues through the knowledge he shared with his children, who continue to weave remarkable objects that now find homes across the world.
Orbit continues this story.
Crafted from telewire, copper, and mild steel, the piece carries a suspended, gravitational quality. Multiple elements circle a central axis, appearing balanced yet in motion – like satellites caught mid-dance.
