Circo Flower Pot 3 from ames

The Circo Flower Pot in joyful colours offers a vibrant home to your plants. A design by Sebastian Herkner, the comfortable and lightweight piece captures Colombia's vibrancy and spirit with its intense colour contrast of fine webbing and steel frame.

Each pot is made in Santa Marta, a city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, by local craftspeople. They weave the PVC strings, which are made from recycled plastic, around a powder coated tubular steel frame. The weaving technique the artesanos and artesanas use is called Momposino, a traditional method known for intricate patterns. Just the preparation of all the materials takes 20 days, while the production of each pot takes two days.
