TRACEABILITY

These exotic but plentiful shells are sourced from Filipino fishing communities with on-going conservation projects. These amazing scallop shells come in a wide variety of natural colours from acid yellow through to inky purple, and pink as seen on our scallop shell desk.

The scallops are widely eaten as a delicacy and the shells are discarded. We buy our shells from fishermen on the island of Negros, in the Philippines, from a fishing community we work with, where extensive conservation efforts are being made, especially in the recovery of damaged plastic fishing nets that choke the local seas. Our sourcing contributes to these efforts.

HERITAGE CRAFT

The goose feathers on our side table are individually hand-tinted black from the base, graduating through to the natural white of the feather’s tip. They are then matched for size and symmetry, inlaid by hand and then sealed with a layer of clear resin.

These feathers are a by-product of farming and the food industry. While goose down is widely known for its use in clothing and bedding, the quills are less readily sold.

IMPECCABLE QUALITY

This collection exemplifies the merging of traditional craftsmanship with precision furniture making and exquisite design.

The inlay process for each item takes many weeks to complete due to the intricate detailing and high quality finish. The results are unlike anything that has ever been created for the furniture market before.
