Materials

A material decides how an object feels in your hand and how it ages in your home. From cotton and linen to ceramic, glass and wood, see what each one brings, where we use it and how to care for it.

Natural and handmade pieces are never identical. Grain, glaze, weave and tone vary from piece to piece, and that is part of the material.

Textiles

Natural and synthetic fibres for bed, bath, table and floor.

Ceramics and glass

Fired clay and melted mineral, shaped for the table.

Natural and mineral

Timber, porous mineral and cast concrete: three materials with a surface you can feel.

Metal

Stainless steel that resists rust, and powder-coated iron and steel.

Plastics

Light, break-resistant tableware and plant-based PLA, printed layer by layer.

Candle wax

Plant-derived candle waxes, from soybean oil and other plant sources.
