If it were up to us, these dinner plates would only come out for the most extraordinary dinner guests and we’d certainly never stick one in the microwave to warm up a slice of pizza!
You could own a set of 12 dinner plates and 12 side plates that feature iconic imagery from artists Lisa Brice, Kudzanai Chiurai, David Goldblatt, Moshekwa Langa, Sam Nhlengethwa, William Kentridge, Mikhael Subotzky, Patrick Waterhouse, Hank Willis Thomas, Jeremy Wafer, Kendell Geers, Alfredo Jaar and Brett Murray. The artwork is applied by hand and fired onto Churchill crockery, which is microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
The range is a collaboration between the Goodman Gallery and Orange Babies, an NGO that focuses on the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission and the care of orphaned and vulnerable children. “Since its inception 15 years ago in the Netherlands, Orange Babies’ fund-raising activities have revolved around art, design and fashion. We were delighted when the Goodman Gallery approached us with the idea, and we’re overwhelmed by their generosity and that of the artists,” says director Dr Adrienne Feldner-Busztin.
The range is limited to 250 sets, so if you want one, best order it from Orange Babies or the Goodman Gallery now. Production time is normally between 8 and 10 weeks, but a small stock is readily available. All proceeds from the project go towards supporting Orange Babies’ initiatives in South Africa.
Plates currently retail at R20 000 for a set of 12 dinner plates (28,5 cm diameter) and 12 side plates (22 cm diameter).
