What Makes It Uncommon

Win By a Neck

Ancient Egyptians captured African giraffes and rafted them down the Nile for their rulers to keep as trophy pets. The origins of these African planters are decidedly more humble. Starting life as scrapped washers, nuts, and other metal pieces, they're salvaged and welded into one-of-a-kind giraffes by creator Tom Ateto and his team of Kenyan artisans. Designed to be adorned by your arrangement of small plants and/or succulents, these charming herbivores can also hold keys inside your entryway, or serve as eye-catching catchalls—a raft of uses, if you will. Handmade in Nairobi, Kenya.

location

Kenya

Tom Ateto and his small team of talented sculptors work in an old British barracks outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Heaps of used machine parts come into their studio as raw material. After the group transforms them with their sculpture magic, what was formerly junk goes out the door as personality-filled outdoor works of art.

Perfect gift for any giraffe lover!

Bought this for my granddaughter who is 20. She loves it! She will not be using it as a plant stand. She has found a little clear bowl to go in it and will be using it on her bathroom vanity to hold hair ties and clips. It looks adorable!

Giraffes don't make a sound but this one makes a statement.

I filled the plant bowl with a variety of beautiful succulents. I don't have a photo as it's been gifted but can get one if you would like.

We love our new metal giraffe! #sweepstakes

Haven't selected a plant yet, but she mentioned Azalea. I don't know anything about plants, and it's still very cold outside so it'll probably be staying inside for a little while!

Whimsical and well-made

Giraffes are my stepmom's favorite animal, so this was the perfect gift for her. She loved it and she's planning to use it to display the hand-dyed yarns she's making with natural dyes.
