Materials

  • Ceramic

    Ceramic

    Ceramic is clay shaped, glazed and fired until it becomes permanent. It is the oldest tableware material there is, and in the SantHome range it carries the most personality: hand-painted...

  • Concrete

    Concrete

    Concrete is cement, sand and water cast into a mould and left to cure, producing a dense, matte, mineral surface entirely unlike glazed ceramic. In the SantHome range it appears...

    Concrete
  • Cotton

    Cotton

    Cotton is the backbone of the SantHome textile range. Duvet covers, sheets, bath towels and beach towels all start with this natural cellulose fibre, spun from the seed hairs of...

  • Diatomite

    Diatomite

    Diatomite is a naturally porous mineral formed from the fossilised remains of diatoms, microscopic algae. Its structure is riddled with pores, so it pulls water in on contact and releases...

    Diatomite
  • Glass

    Glass

    Glass is sand transformed: melted, shaped and cooled into a material that is completely non-porous and chemically neutral. Nothing you drink from glass tastes of anything but itself. In drinkware...

    Glass
  • Linen

    Linen

    Linen is woven from the fibres of the flax plant, one of the oldest cultivated textiles in Europe and still one of the best suited to warm climates. In the...

  • Melamine

    Melamine

    Melamine is a hard thermoset plastic, moulded under heat into a dense surface that resists scratching far better than the softer plastics used for disposable tableware. It belongs where ceramic...

    Melamine
  • Metal

    Metal

    Powder-coated metal is the backbone of the furniture that has to hold weight without taking up room: wall shelves, floating bedside tables, shoe racks and hooks. The coating is baked...

    Metal
  • PLA

    PLA

    PLA is a plant-based composite made from fermented plant starch rather than petroleum. In the SantHome range it appears in pendant lights, wall lights and vases, printed in a continuous...

    PLA
  • Plastic

    Plastic

    Food-grade plastic earns its place where breakage is a real risk: a terrace, a poolside, a table where children eat. It carries the shape and weight of glassware without the...

    Plastic
  • Polyester

    Polyester

    Polyester is a synthetic fibre woven or filled into rugs and cushions across the SantHome range, chosen where water and UV resistance matter more than a natural handle. It keeps...

    Polyester
  • Polypropylene

    Polypropylene

    Polypropylene, often shortened to PP, is the plastic fibre that made outdoor rugs practical. It absorbs almost no water, so it does not hold damp, stain the way natural fibres...

    Polypropylene
  • Porcelain

    Porcelain

    Porcelain is ceramic taken further: a finer clay fired at much higher temperatures until it vitrifies, becoming glass-like all the way through. The result is thinner walls, more strength and...

    Porcelain
  • Silk

    Silk

    Silk is a natural protein fibre, spun rather than grown as a staple, so a single filament runs the length of a whole thread with no join. That continuity leaves...

    Silk
  • Soy wax

    Soy wax

    Soy wax is pressed from soybean oil and hardened, a plant wax rather than a petroleum by-product like paraffin. It melts at a lower temperature, which means a larger melt...

    Soy wax
  • Stainless Steel

    Stainless Steel

    Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium in which the chromium forms an invisible, self-repairing layer that stops rust. It is the standard for cutlery and wet-room hardware...

    Stainless Steel
  • Vegetable wax

    Vegetable wax

    Vegetable wax is a blend of plant-derived waxes, made to burn cleanly without the petroleum base of paraffin. Biodegradable grades break down naturally rather than persisting, the right property for...

    Vegetable wax
  • Wood

    Wood

    Wood is the one material in a kitchen that was recently alive, and it behaves that way: every olive wood mill, acacia board and bamboo piece carries a grain pattern...
