Garlic Gourd – Sculptural Organic Decor from Zimbabwe
Rooted in African heritage and reborn as modern sculpture, our Garlic Gourds are naturally dried vessels once used for storing grains or milk. Handpicked from Zimbabwean farms, these gourd forms carry earthy textures and organic silhouettes that evoke ancestral simplicity and contemporary calm.
Natural Form & Origin
No two garlic gourds are the same. Each is shaped by nature and time — dried under the African sun, sometimes lightly sanded or polished, and left raw to showcase their natural patina. Their bulbous, “garlic” silhouette makes them a favourite among interior stylists and collectors of slow, soulful decor.
How to Style
- Display solo on coffee tables, consoles, or shelves
- Pair with bone beads, wooden bowls, or woven fans for a layered Afro-minimalist look
- Use as sculptural bowl fillers or photography props
