Thoroughly and Unequivocally Obsessed with my new XAMMI Pieces
Sometimes my work comes full circle, and I would say that is the beauty of what I do—seeing a logo I designed randomly on a poster during a random walk in the city, a sponsored social media post, or on a label of product in a store.
It never gets old.
When I recently collaborated with Melody Rohlfs of XAMMI, it wasn’t the first time we worked together; over a year ago, she came to us for the visual development of her ceramics brand identity. I designed the logo that would later be stamped on STUNNING ceramic pieces. Cool right?!
I walked away from our recent content collaboration with two beautiful pieces that I will definitely be adding to my personal asset list.
Before I show you my new pieces, let’s look at how talented Melody is and how beautiful everything she makes under the XAMMI brand is.
In case you didn’t know, XAMMI is a Namibian ceramics brand - they make sculptural pieces, all hand made in Namibia.
Xammi takes inspiration from Namibian landsapes and texture but also the women’s form, which I find just beautiful.
See some of the pieces from the Bank Windhoek Biennale I attended earlier this year that XAMMI was a part of.
Stunning, right?
I will be opening a savings account dedicated solely to XAMMI For now I’m enjoying these two stunning pieces in my home.
Let’s look at the XAMMI pieces I now own. *geeking
First up, this red Sosussvlei inspired vase.
Currently, I have placed the vase at our entry way console, so you see it as you walk into our home. I think it looks beautiful here, but my vision for it is my room, lol. For now, my housemates can enjoy its beauty until I decide on the perfect spot.
And then we have the stunning Namibian landscape mug.
Let me tell you, this mug has been my personality since I got it, other mugs have not seen me in weeks. My partner has even started to call it ‘our cup” - I don’t like that - so I will be ordering one, for him.
The character it possesses, they way it makes me feel when I drink my coffee or tea - like, all is fine in the world.
Looking at how it is made, makes owning it even more special.
“I solemnly believe everyone deserves to own this mug in their home. ”
