Go tswa ko ga Lowe

Crafted from where stories begin

LOWE — also written Loê — carries a Setswana sense of the place of origin. The phrase “go tswa ko ga Lowe” speaks of something that has existed since the beginning of time: from the source, from the first place.

We take that as a brief. Natural materials worked by hand. Forms that have lived in African homes for generations, drawn with a contemporary line. Objects made slowly, to be kept and passed on.
