our materials
Our primary focus is transparency, we see our suppliers more as partners and encourage open dialogue and communication. Our venue is made of natural and/or recycled materials with a focus on sustainable methods of production. We see the beauty in the most simple things and natural materials, from the grain and character of untreated wood through to the golden hues of eco-friendly jute.
rattan
The rattan we used on our lampshades are hand woven using ancient Indonesian basket making skills. The cultivation of rattan has the added benefit of delaying deforestation in some areas; this is because it has become such a valuable material that logging has been stopped to allow rattan growth.
hemp
Hemp is a wonderful eco-friendly material. It does not require pesticides and its density of growth leaves little room for weeds. Its durability and strength mean that it is also a long lasting material, we use this on our chairs and ropes.
stoneware
Our crockery include clay, terracotta and stoneware. These raw materials are brought to life by skilled artisans using a wealth of techniques that are thousands of years old. The collections are hand painted and shaped by hand incorporating indigenous and contemporary influences inspired by our designers.
linen
The soft weight of the natural fabric immediately reveals the quality, and from ancient Egypt to present-day homes, flax linen has enjoyed a well-deserved status as a durable luxury material. Our linen consist of napkins weaved in a way that accentuates the natural fibres' salient feature: the lightly wrinkled, glossy, and varied surface that shimmers beautifully in the light.
natural wood
We use recycled and natural wood which is a sustainable source of hardwood timber. Especially mango trees, which are initially grown for their fruit, but once they have stopped producing they can be cut down and used to create wood products with a beautiful colour and grain. This allows farmers to plant more trees and provides them with a supplementary income.
natural walls
The paint we use on our walls is stained with 100% natural mineral pigments, providing the most beautiful colours and a full, rich look, not to mention the perfect opacity. And, of course, it meets the most stringent environmental requirements.
