Dispatches from the studio
Notes on forms before function, colour as argument, and confetti set in stone. The lookbook for a shop that thinks it is a gallery.

Why we design the silhouette first and let the use chase it around the room.
“An object earns its place by being looked at, not by being useful.”
Start with the shape. Not the brief, not the use-case, not the ergonomics report — the shape. A stack of glazed segments that wants to be a vase but would honestly rather just stand there. Babel holds a single stem or nothing at all, and it was never really about the flowers.

On palette-morphing, clashing-on-purpose, and the discipline hiding under the maximalism.
“Clashing is not the absence of taste. It is taste, turned all the way up.”
Each collection sets its own palette, and the whole shop morphs to match as you move between them. It is the loudest idea in the building and, secretly, the most disciplined: every accent is checked for contrast, every transition eased the same way, every clash chosen rather than allowed.

Terrazzo, hand-casting, and the small disorders that make an object feel made.
“Order, made of small disorders. No two pieces speckled quite alike.”
Terrazzo is chips of stone suspended in colour — confetti, set in stone. Each tray and plinth is cast by hand, so the speckle pattern is never the same twice. The imperfection is the point: it is how the object tells you a person made it.
Read enough. The objects are better in person — or at least at full size.
