BEHIND THE WORK

A material.
A process.
A maker’s mark.

Look a little closer. The irregular edge of a bowl. The grain of reclaimed wood. The colour a plant leaves in cloth. These are the details that make a piece its own.

Meet the people behind the objects, discover how they work, and bring home something you can feel connected to.
