Soma
By Laurie Wiid van Heerden
Soma is the Greek word for “body” and Laurie Wiid van Heerden’s design of the Soma is inspired by the body of a tree. The trunk like shape carries leaves towards the sky raising them upwards and above other plants. The Soma planters, some which are substantial in size, do the same and lift beautiful plants up via a curvaceous tree trunk likeness which could include timber as part of that body of the tree.
