The story
Since 2013 we have been turning sunlight into work in Johannesburg, today in our factory at Victoria Yards, in an area with more than 60 percent youth unemployment. Heritage carries that craft where you can see it: cotton yarn wound by hand, over several hours, directly around the stainless-steel wire frame, colour beside colour. No two shades are alike — slight colour variations in the pattern are part of it. In the evening, with the SOMO on top glowing through the yarn, an old bottle becomes a piece with a story.

Frequently asked questions
The cork base sits on almost any bottle neck — old wine bottles, water bottles, slender vases. No tools, no conversion.
A SOMO from generation 6 (since 2022) in Classic size — for example the one from the lid of your 1000 ml Sun Jar. The set already includes it.
Not in the Unwoven collection: the yarn is wound onto the frame for good. Swappable covers are in the Swapcover collection.
