Currently, the most commonly available wire and beading objects are animal figurines, or objects which are purely decorative and made only out of wire and beading. Life-U is now using the fusion of contemporary African wire bead craft in conjunction with sophisticated materials, such as woven wire mesh, interesting fabrics and metals, to produce functional and beautiful products.
Most of the work is meticulously done by hand, which gives each product a beautiful hand crafted appearance. This is in line with the Life-U vision of producing works of art rather than mass-produced goods.
The products are art objects. No two items are exactly the same, which give the products exclusivity and true value.
The design concepts developed by Life-U have been inspired by the rich diversity found in South Africa with each product telling a unique story of its origin.
