From Japan to Portugal, Sri Lanka to Belgium — every object begins with a place, a material, and the hands that shape it. We source with care, building relationships rooted in trust, respect, and shared values.
A pottery town with roots reaching back centuries. Mashiko's clay, rich with iron, yields warm earth tones and a tactile surface that speaks of place. We work with a small family kiln where each firing is guided by intuition and the behaviour of the wood flame.
In the dry plains south of Lisbon, a tradition of unglazed stoneware endures. The vessels are shaped on slow wheels, dried under the open sky, and fired in communal kilns. The resulting forms carry the stillness of the landscape itself.
In the hill country of central Sri Lanka, a centuries-old tradition of brasswork endures. Artisans hand-cast and hammer ritual lamps and vessels using techniques passed through generations. Each piece carries the warmth of tropical light, the patience of slow craft, and the spiritual resonance of objects made with devotion and care.
Our linen is woven in a small atelier that has worked with flax for three generations. The fibres are grown locally, retted in the river Leie, and woven on mechanical looms that allow for a dense, irregular weave — warm to the touch and designed to soften over years of use.
