Collection: OBJECTS
Objects are the quiet storytellers of a space. They do not announce themselves; they linger, waiting to be noticed, to be understood.
The OBJECTS collection reimagines everyday forms into vessels of intent—furniture and accessories crafted to provoke, inspire, and ground their surroundings.
Incense Bowl
In the interplay between ritual and design, this vessel distills intention to its purest form. A study in reflection, the polished stainless steel bowl holds space for both purpose and presence - where rising smoke meets collected stillness.
The raised silhouette rests in quiet dialogue with its environment. The ritual of burning incense is a considered moment. Here, materiality and meaning converge in a form that honours both the practice it serves and the space it occupies.

Pedestal Bowl
Depth finds new expression in obsidian ceramic, where vessel meets monument. The raised form challenges conventional boundaries - neither purely decorative nor strictly functional, it occupies a space where purpose becomes fluid and interpretation remains open.
The intersection of cylindrical base and curved bowl creates a silent tension, enhanced by the deep black glaze that both absorbs and reflects light. Each viewing angle reveals a shifting interplay of shadow and shine, suggesting that stillness itself can be a form of movement.

Coffee Table
A geometric patchwork of time-worn tiles creates an intimate landscape in bronze and stone. Each square holds its own patina, contributing to a composition that speaks of accumulated history rather than manufactured uniformity. The raised form appears to float, defying its substantial presence.
The bronzed frame binds these elements into a cohesive whole, while celebrating the subtle variations in texture and tone. It's an exercise in controlled entropy - where precision meets the organic evolution of materials, creating a surface that invites both touch and contemplation.

Dining Chair
Reduction finds its poetry in this iron frame, where every line serves both structure and visual rhythm. The hand-woven raffia creates a dialogue between industrial and artisanal - its natural warmth softening the geometric precision of blackened metal.
Each element exists in essential harmony: the spare ladder back, the subtle cross-bracing, the careful tension of the woven seat. It's an object that honors both modernist principles and ancient craft techniques, finding balance in their intersection.

Antinous Vase
Archaic form reimagined through contemporary restraint. The vessel's pale earthen body bears witness to time through its crazing surface, while bold black bands anchor its presence in space. Here, imperfection becomes intention - each fine crack in the glaze telling its own story of transformation.
Between classical proportion and modern sensibility, the vase achieves a curious timelessness. Its rounded silhouette speaks of ancient traditions, yet its stark contrasts and deliberate simplicity root it firmly in the present moment.

Stone Bowl
Carved from a single block of dark marble, veined patterns trace ancient geological narratives across the bowl's surface. The hemisphere rests on a walnut base - a considered detail that elevates the stone's natural gravity into something more ethereal.
The marriage of dense marble and warm wood creates a quiet tension. Light plays across the polished surface, highlighting the stone's inherent patterns while the turned wooden base provides both visual anchor and tactile contrast.

HIM
In sculptural silence, a meditation on form, suspended in stillness, - surface as a landscape of light and shadow, presence and absence. Time settles in the patina, marking passages we cannot read but somehow understand.
The downward gaze holds secrets in its hollow, while tensed fingers speak of contained energy, of stories held in metal and released in glimpses. Here, anatomy transcends mere representation, becoming instead a vessel for unspoken dialogues between viewer and viewed, and what remains eternally elusive.

Material: Bronze
Planter
A minimalist vessel in polished stainless steel that captures and reflects the interplay of light and shadow. The cylindrical form presents an uninterrupted surface - its seamless construction allowing the material's natural luster to command attention while serving as a considered backdrop for botanical life.
The planter's mirror finish creates an ever-changing dialogue with its environment, picking up ambient tones and casting them back in metallic warmth. Its pristine industrial form offers elegant contrast to the organic shapes of foliage, each enhancing the other's inherent qualities through deliberate opposition.
Dimensions: 20cm ø x 20cm H

Mug
A vessel of earthen simplicity, the mug rises from its base with purposeful verticality, crowned by a modernist handle that eschews traditional curves for geometric precision. The rich terracotta surface bears a matte finish that absorbs and softens light, creating subtle variations in its earth-toned complexion as shadows play across its form.
The cylindrical silhouette speaks to industrial efficiency while the material connects to ancient craft traditions. Its elongated proportions elevate the humble mug into something more sculptural, finding balance between daily utility and considered design that rewards contemplation.

Terracotta Plate
A radiant pattern of delicate lines emanates from the center of this terracotta plate, like a captured moment of dawn breaking across its surface. The sunburst motif, etched with precise geometry, creates subtle shadows that shift with changing light, adding depth to the earthy palette of the clay.
The plate's shallow profile and raised rim speak to both function and visual lightness, while its matte finish offers tactile warmth. This interplay between structured pattern and organic material creates an object that is both grounding and uplifting - a daily reminder of the sun's eternal cycle pressed into earthen form.

Tray
Hewn from luminous white marble, this shallow vessel carries within its form the quiet drama of ancient stone. Subtle veining drifts across its surface like frozen whispers of geological time, each pattern unique and unrepeatable - a testament to the material's natural heritage.
The gently curved profile rises from a stable base to a refined rim, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow across its polished expanse. Whether cradling fresh fruits or standing in solitary elegance, it transforms the functional into the contemplative - a canvas where daily rituals meet timeless material presence.

Water Jug
Carved from a single piece of marble, this vessel emerges as a study in fluid form rendered in stone. The cylindrical body rises with purposeful simplicity, its pour spout a subtle deviation that speaks to both function and grace. The geometric handle provides counterpoint to the jug's organic curves, creating a dialogue between utility and sculptural presence.
The marble's natural variations create a gentle topography across the surface, each subtle marking and mineral trace telling its own geological story. Cool to the touch, the material provides natural temperature regulation while transforming a daily utility into an object of quiet contemplation.
