Our Materials
We carefully select each material for its quality, sustainability, and beauty. Every material tells a story and contributes to the unique character of our hand-crafted pieces.
Organic Cotton & Linen
We source organic cotton and linen from certified sustainable farms. These natural fibers are breathable, durable, and become softer with each wash. Our textiles are dyed using low-impact, eco-friendly processes that preserve the natural beauty of the fibers.
Natural Clay & Ceramics
Our ceramic pieces are made from locally sourced natural clay, free from harmful additives. Each piece is hand-thrown and fired using traditional techniques. We use lead-free glazes that are food-safe and dishwasher-safe, ensuring both beauty and functionality.
Responsibly Sourced Wood
All wooden elements in our collection come from responsibly managed forests. We work with suppliers who practice sustainable forestry, ensuring that for every tree used, new trees are planted. Our wood pieces showcase the natural grain and character of each species.
Natural Fibers & Textiles
Beyond cotton and linen, we incorporate other natural fibers including wool, alpaca, and hemp. Each fiber is chosen for its specific properties—warmth, texture, durability—and is processed using methods that maintain its natural qualities while ensuring longevity.
