EVOLUTION PRODUCT: LINENS & PILLOWS CELEBRATING THE HISTORICAL & BOTANICAL NARRATIVES OF SOUTH AFRICA
Amanda du Plessis of Evolution Product proudly goes against the tide of soulless, factory-made products.

Inspiration came from a rare book of historic pressed sea algae by William Tyson, dating back to 1908 – generously shared with her by The South African Biodiversity Institute (SANBI).
