No. 01 · The cloakroom

Small rooms, dark bowls

A cloakroom is the smallest room in the house, and usually the one given the least thought. This one is grey tile from floor to ceiling, a round mirror, a brass spout coming straight out of the wall, and an Omoi bowl standing on a slim black frame.

Omoi is a round vessel, cast by hand in concrete in our Nottingham workshop. In a dark finish it reads less like a fitting and more like furniture: something you put in a room rather than build into it.

The same cloakroom, by the frosted window. Lifestyle photo, not the piece for sale.

No two casts come out the same, so every piece on our shelf is a one-off, photographed exactly as it is. The one below is a 420mm Omoi in Charcoal, and it's ready now.

No. 02 · Daphne

A basin that turns either way

Soft, rounded, and designed with wall-mounted taps in mind.

The DAPHNE basin takes its inspiration from our DERN design, reimagined with beautifully soft, rounded features that give the piece a gentle, sculptural presence.

Designed with wall mounted taps in mind, DAPHNE works effortlessly in both contemporary and more classic bathroom settings.

“The form can be positioned either left or right handed simply by turning the basin…”From our workshop notes on Daphne

Close in on the bowl and its copper waste. The same white Daphne.
