Sandi Conical Vase

Andile Dyalvane South African
Manufactory Imiso Studio South African

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 508

Andile Dyalvane and Zizipho Poswa cofounded the Imiso Studio in 2005. Meaning "tomorrows" in the Xhosa language, imiso reflects the philosophy of the studio, which promotes experimentation, collaboration, and more accessible design in the radical hope for a better future. Part of Dyalvane's Africasso collection, a series in which he creatively interprets imagery from folklore passed down by his grandmother, this vessel evokes the feathery wings and piercing gaze of a bird.
