Charles Haupt custom-made metalwork

Bronze Age Studio in Woodstock, Cape Town, is responsible for an extraordinary amount of custom-made metalwork at Xigera Safari Lodge. Led by sculptor Otto du Plessis and industrial designer Charles Haupt, studio has fostered a new regard for bronze as a modern material equally suited to traditional sculpture as it is to contemporary design.

The warmth and tactility of handcrafted bronze, copper and brass surfaces subtly illuminate the camp’s interiors. The collection of bronze bowls seen throughout the lodge are available for you to purchase in the shop, to forever recall the exceptional craftsmanship and luxury of your time at Xigera.
