The studio
One studio, one table,fixed edition sizes.
Design, production & finishing
under one roof
This did not start as a company. It started as annoyance about a side table with nothing decent to put on it. The first bowl was for personal use. So was the second. By the tenth it was clear that other people have the same problem, and that is how this label came to be.
Made digitally, finished by hand. In practice that means the shape is designed on a computer and built up layer by layer in the studio, and then comes the part no machine can do. Sanding, breaking edges, inspecting, and on the lamps the wiring. An object that fails the second sanding pass is melted down and made again. That happens more often than the numbers would like.
The material is sustainable. It feels warm to the touch, is surprisingly tough and ages well as long as you keep it out of harsh direct sun. High gloss is not its thing, but others do high gloss better anyway.
The edition idea is simple. A shape gets a fixed run, say 25 or 40 pieces, each one gets a number, a signature and a stamped edition card. When the last number is gone, the mould is archived. That is not scarcity marketing but self-protection: make the same shape three hundred times and you stop seeing it.
Everything is packed here in the studio, in a box that keeps the object safe even when the courier has a bad day. Shipping within 5 to 7 business days, usually faster.

The journey of an object
Three steps. No shortcuts.
Design
Every shape starts as a sketch and is reworked on the computer until nothing more can be taken away. Most designs do not survive this stage.
workshop
The object is made digitally in the studio, in one piece or in a few parts. Depending on size, that takes between six hours and two days.
Finishing
Two sanding passes, edges broken by hand, final inspection in daylight. Only then does the piece get its number and the card its stamp.
