from “pot dealer to furniture forger,”
Heralding a bold new chapter in the studio’s ever-expanding creative universe - our first foray into furniture, the five-piece collection pushes the boundaries of the studio’s signature aesthetic with sculptural forms, graphic playfulness and meticulous craftsmanship.
Designed and handmade in the UK, the collection comprises a coffee table, side table, console, chair, and pouffe.
AS SEEN IN
Materially, the collection brings together patinated bronze, plush mohair, and glazed earthenware, drawing inspiration from Brutalist and postmodern design while celebrating the poetic irregularities of handcraft.
Central to the series is the studio’s mantra of “embracing the wobble”, here expressed in bronze bends, marbled ceramic spheres, and pebble-shaped cast feet.
The Furniture Collection
Nerikomi spheres – marbled ceramic orbs hand-built using the studio’s distinctive stacking, folding and rolling technique – appear throughout, threaded along the bronze legs of the tables and grounding the pouffe as sculptural feet.
The use of bronze pebbles provides another recurring motif. Both the console and the chair rest on bronze legs tipped with pebble feet, one of which was hand-cast from a stone Holland collected while scattering his mother’s ashes on a Welsh beach. This detail lends the collection an emotional depth that sits at the heart of its design story.
Each piece in the collection takes this language of form and material in a distinct direction. The chair introduces warmth and tactility with a mohair seat and backrest, while the pouffe takes on a more playful character, its rounded organic form balanced atop three oversized ceramic spheres. The side table pairs a bronze base with a nerikomi sphere stand to support a hand-built ceramic top, and the console table combines bronze legs and pebble feet with a patinated bronze surface. Completing the collection, the coffee table brings together interlocking shapes of bronze and ceramic tops.
