Following his honeymoon to South Africa, German designer Sebastian Herkner was inspired by all the aspects, elements and shades he encountered across many areas. The Aarde (which means earth) represents this - the layering that exists culturally, demographically and in the nature and light of Africa.
The Aarde has subtly overlapping layers with different depths to create the play with light and minerality that Sebastian saw in the natural landscape and wanted to represent. The earthy colours (brown, red, sandstone…) used in this range are very much part of the story Sebastian wished to communicate.
Sebastian’s love for traditional craftsmanship, a natural affinity for colours, authentic materials and textures, and his curiosity for different cultures meant that this collaboration was a natural fit. ‘I like that the Aarde is being produced in South Africa because I believe that people are searching for the story of the product, where it is produced, which materials are used, how sustainable is it. Indigenus makes superbly manufactured planters and their design philosophy matches mine,’ says Herkner.
