Design Talks with Fée Halsted and Cath Berning
20th at 11am & 21st May at 3pm
For this exhibition, Ardmore’s artists have translated the intricate botanicals, suspended seed pods, and jewel-toned wildlife of the wallpaper collection onto sculptural ceramic form. These new works create a beautiful dialogue between wall and object, bringing pattern into three-dimensional life and deepening the storytelling of the Baobab world.
Join Fée Halsted and Cath for special design talks, where they will share insights into the inspiration, artistry, and creative journey behind the Baobab collection and our latest ceramics.
This Baobab - Ardmore wallpaper collection pays homage to South Africa’s majestic Baobab tree. Full of mysticism and lore, the Baobab is affectionately known as the ‘Tree of Life’. Said to have healing properties, the tree acts as a symbol for the vibrant flora and fauna of South Africa; a distinctive figure in the landscape to which all creatures are drawn.
In this collaboration collection, the design houses of Cole & Son and Ardmore ceramics have continued to elevate their offering. Wallcoverings are vastly detailed and immersive, akin to the rich nature that surrounds Ardmore’s home within the Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Fanciful and joyful, each of the collection’s 9 designs is bursting with life. Regal King Cheetahs prowl through the long grasses of the plain; a family of giraffes share a fleeting moment of maternal love amidst acacia leaves; and whimsical big cats enjoy a lush landscape of waterfalls and pools.
