Designed by Haldane Martin for Indigenus, the Tuber is crafted from Iroko wood – a durable African timber often used for boat building, flooring and outdoor-furniture. Individual pieces of Iroko are bolted together with stainless steel pins and hand-assembled into an impressive form that is then turned to create a sensual, soft finish. Over time, if used outdoors and left to weather naturally, the Tuber will age into a beautiful silver-grey hue.
Launched in 2014 by Indigenus with an edited range of distinctive contemporary planters by award-winning designers Gregor Jenkin and Laurie Wiid van Heerden of Wiid Design.
