(PRE-ORDER) Hayah - Planter

** This product is made-to-order and may take 3-4 weeks to deliver **

Designed to accentuate plant pots, “Hayah” is a plant stand that is inspired by the Art Deco style. The barrel form of “Hayah” is realized through circular shapes, and the use of bent reeds, a tradition long deployed in chairs and patio furniture. In addition to being a plant stand, “Hayah” may offer a versatile use, as a table stand having a glass or wooden top, or a container to store domestic items, such as toys, while adding a soft linen bag.

Dimensions: 40x40x50 cm

This product has been developed in collaboration with CLUTSER in BICEIA project, Bridging Inequality through Creative Economy in Informal Areas. (BICEIA) is a project that integrates the designers and manufacturers in Cairo’s formal economy with artisans in informal areas. This builds upon CLUSTER’s research and social design work, along with its existing network with local communities, proposing a framework that ensures fair compensation for independent craftspeople. The project, based on a community of craftspeople in Fayoum, began with a series of introductory and capacity-building workshops, before undertaking a collaborative design process between high-end designers and local artisans, drafting prototypes and iterations to eventually reach the final pieces displayed in the Tajreeda exhibition. BICEIA fosters collaborations that develop skills, market products, and connect creative talent to income opportunities in broader distribution networks.
