Here's an invitation to immerse yourself into our adventures in materials. The aluminium and the stone, the wood and the glass, the wax, the iron and brass all come to life with new shapes, new smells and new functions.
Tom says: ‘For us, the design process is multidimensional and it could start anywhere, with an inspiration, a formal brief or a serious problem to solve. But pretty soon you have to get down to the fundamentals, and the first step is to consider your materials. The success and desirability of the product is inextricably tied in to the substance that forms it, and a great deal of our success comes from the materials with which it is made. But more than that, the mutation of the raw material into an object of desire or an artefact of function is the real alchemy of a designer.’
New accessories for A/W16 available instore & online 2nd September
MATERIALISM Gift Set
Four small vessels, each with its own distinctive scent and finish relating back to materiality. Encased in glass, stone, metal and marble, the gift set makes a perfect addition to any space, ideal for the person who has it all.
The Materialism Gift Set is available now.
TANK extensions
As we get deeper into drinking culture, our recent successes in tea, coffee and cocktails have given us the momentum to delve deeper into wine and water through the mouth blown minimal shapes of Tank. An increasingly complete range of drinking and pouring vessels that are now also joined by some oversize flower vases and lanterns.
The new Tank range is available now.
STONE
Each rocky, rounded heavyweight container is unique due to the particularities of each individual block of marble. This forms the optimum container for the dry exotic fig and sandalwood essence. Shop the STONE collection.
ALLOY
Sharp clean and light, the metal and the scent share common core characteristics. A rough cast container with machined edges encloses the precious wax. Shop the ALLOY collection.
ORBIT
A set of seamless circular trays, nested within one another, acts as a playful way to serve afternoon tea, canapes or keep your trinkets intact. Each tray is made from one sheet of solid brass, pressed into a mould then silver plated.
BASH
Now available in our new soft silver finish. Appropriately named, the BASH vessels are smacked, beaten and hammered into these abstract forms by hand from solid brass sheet, each one bearing the imprint of the hammer and the personality of the craftsman. The silver wash softens the bright gold colouring of the brass, and gives a modern and delicate luminosity to the rugged surfaces.
MICRO WINGBACK
The Micro Wingback is a take on our much-loved range, re-imagined to work within the home or smaller confined spaces. Inspired by two seating archetypes: the 17th century wingback and its smaller sibling the 18th century balloon back, we nod to the past to inspire creativity for modern living. Available in solid oak or copper legs and in a wide range of Kvadrat fabrics and colours.
Micro Wingback is available now.
STACK
Oversized sculptural pots made from small scraps of wood, recomposed into concentric rings that form big and mysterious monoliths.
FORM
A series of artefacts sculpted from brass or copper with a matt finish. Add a much needed sophisticated glamour to the pared down modern table setting. A nest of five delicate dishes sculpted from fine sheets of brass then silver plated. Each plate has its own unique shape and finish.
OIL
The new OIL range now has black wax and we've added a pillar candle to the family. The mysterious multi-coloured vessel contains a powerful refreshing blast of woody essential oils. With its melted edge and dented forms, no container is the same, the light refracting from the surface creates the lustrous effect of petrol on water or a dragonfly.
QUARTZ
A new pillar candle with 70 hour burn time has joined the QUARTZ family. The refined and musky aromas of ambrette and pink pepper are contained in strange milky translucent glass. Each vessel is made from a gob of glass, pulled, pressed and stretched into an unexpectedly complex and unique container.
Shop the QUARTZ collection.
