Objects for the table and the room

Everything stated.

Every piece we sell publishes its full material record — composition, dimensions, weight, finish, how to care for it, and what it is not suitable for. No adjectives doing the work of specifications.

Everyday Plate — 27 cm dinner plate in reduction-fired stoneware

The material record

Most shops tell you an object is beautiful. We would rather tell you it weighs 690 grams, that the glaze varies between pieces, and that it will crack if you put it in an oven. You can decide about beautiful yourself.

What it is made of

Stated to the material and the process — 'stoneware, reduction-fired to 1280°C, fully vitrified', not 'ceramic'.

What it measures

Dimensions and weight on every piece. The most common return on a home-goods site is an object arriving a different size than imagined.

What it is not for

The sentence most shops leave out. Not oven safe. Not dishwasher safe. Not rated above 5 kg. Better read now than discovered later.

A place to start

The pieces we would put on our own table first.

Seven materials

We work in a narrow range, on purpose.

Seven materials, chosen because they age in a way worth living with. Each behaves in a specific way — brass darkens, stone stains, linen softens — and we would rather explain that than pretend otherwise.

How each one behaves

Stoneware

Fired to 1280°C, vitrified and non-porous. Chips rather than cracks, and holds heat far longer than porcelain.

Glass

Hand-blown soda-lime glass. Wall thickness varies by a fraction between pieces; bubbles are inclusions, not flaws.

Linen

European flax, stonewashed before cutting so the finished piece will not shrink further in normal use.

Brass

Solid CZ121 brass, unlacquered. It will darken and fingerprint. That is the material behaving correctly.

Stone

Marble and travertine, honed rather than polished. Porous by nature and sealed where it meets water.

Oak

European white oak, finished with a food-safe hardwax oil that can be reapplied at home indefinitely.

Wool

Lambswool and merino, woven in small runs. Warm without weight, and it recovers its shape after folding.
