A finished object can hide everything that came before it.
Heat transforms materials, and hands shape them.
The process leaves its evidence in every form.
Made By Many Hands.
The glass begins before the glassblower begins.
We make our own glass batch from raw materials, working with glassblowers who melt and shape it by hand.
The Glass
The Process.
The material sets the pace.
Glass, clay, and metal each respond differently to heat, pressure, and time. We work with those qualities rather than against them.
The knowledge lives in the hand.
We work with makers whose understanding comes from years of working with their material.
The Makers
We make less, by choice.
Small editions. Real materials. Human hands.
A little variation is expected. A little imperfection is welcome.
The Decisions
See the collection
The collection is the process made visible. Each piece in it carries the same materials and decisions described here.
How a piece ages
The same qualities that make each object distinct during the making continue to develop over time. The care guide explains what to expect
Bespoke
Drawing on 30 years of interior practice, Sonali understands how light, material and proportion can change the way we experience a space.
Each edition is finite.
Some spaces ask for something that does not already exist.
A different scale. A particular colour. A proportion that is only right for one room.
