The Garbage Collection: Water Bottle Vases
We created 3 different vases in the forms of discarded, single-use products with the intention of drawing attention to the waste we all produce. 10% of all sales from The Garbage Collection will be donated to help clean up ocean waste. Material: concrete w/ recycled glass Size: 2.75” w x 7” h Our concrete work is all individually hand cast from custom made rubber molds. Colors are integrally mixed into the concrete and results in each piece being unique. We use recycled materials and are able to create a finished product 30% lighter than traditional concrete (in our non-terrazzo pieces). Although the sealer is food grade and safe we don't recommend using these for direct food contact. Natural voids occur during casting and some pieces will have very small pin holes. Do not submerge in water. Wipe clean with mild soap and water.
SS & Gold Dots Spreader Set
I once owned a spreader that was just a knife, unremarkable in every way. Then I discovered this set of four stainless steel spreaders dotted with gold, and suddenly my relationship with condiments changed entirely. They're the kind of utensils that make you pause mid-spread and think, "Well, this is nicer than it needs to be." Made from quality stainless steel, they won't betray you like cheaper spreaders do. The gold dots are subtle enough that you won't feel ridiculous using them for cream cheese, yet elegant enough to make your guests wonder if you've always been this sophisticated. Perfect for butter, jam, dips, or whatever else you're compelled to spread across bread. They're practical, yes, but they're also the sort of small luxury that reminds you life doesn't have to be entirely utilitarian.
Velvet Tufted Wall Rug
With its plush, velvet-like texture and prismatic colors, this carpet brings a touch of glamour and comfort. The embossed design creates a rich, tactile experience, making it perfect for adding warmth and style to any room. Measures: 17" x 30" Materials: wool Technique: tufting art, latch hook Cleaning and Care Structure: Clean with vacuum cleaner. Cautions: Do not wash. Don't bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not pass. Normal professional dry cleaning allowed. This piece is made entirely by hand, and some imperfections may occur. You will receive the piece rolled up and in a few minutes it will be unrolled and ready for you to hang.
Shetland Plaid Blockprint Napkins in Brown and Blue, Set of 4
These napkins are what happens when a family of eighth-generation artisans in Jaipur decides that plaid should be taken seriously. Hand blockprinted in brown and blue, they feature the kind of bold lines that make your dinner table look intentional rather than like you grabbed whatever was clean. One hundred percent cotton, printed with AZO-free dyes, so you can feel virtuous while wiping your mouth. At 18" x 18", they're substantial enough to handle actual food situations. Set of four means you can host people without immediately running to the laundry. Supporting craft traditions never looked so good on a table.
