The Objets

The everyday, made to last.

Not everything worth keeping is a god or a monument. A bowl. A lamp. A rack that holds your wine. I like stone best when it is close enough to touch every day, when the thing you reach for happens to be older than everyone you know. The same blocks, the same hands, at the scale of a room.

A wine rack carved from a single block of banded rainbow sandstone
In daily life

Cut from the same block.

An objet is not an offcut. It is chosen and carved the same way a figure is, from sound stone, roughed by the robot and finished by a shilpi. The wine rack above is one piece of banded sandstone, the kind quarried near us that people here call rainbow stone, hollowed so the bottles lie in it.

These are the smallest things we make, and usually the first thing a house buys from us. Live with one for a year and you will understand the rest of the work.

About the stone

Each work is unique to its block

Keep one within reach.

Tell us the piece, the stone, and the room it will live in. We take objet commissions in small runs. We start with a conversation, and we answer every note ourselves.
