CRAFT RAIN DOWN, 2022 

Umbrellas deserve better.

In the 70s, umbrella stands began to resemble bins. They’ve been haunted

by this brutal intervention ever since. Perhaps we could label it an

‘endangered typology’ of complimentary furniture in need of a touch of colour.

The plan: Gather discarded material from the streets of Barcelona.

Manipulate this scrap to create one umbrella stand prototype a day. Pick an interesting result and translate it into a dignified concept suitable for small-batch, artisanal production.

Designed with nods to its origins in scrap, FUNNEL is an unfamiliar umbrella

stand which celebrates the diversity and magic of craft. Happy to stand with

and without an umbrella in place. Wheel thrown ceramic base, hand-lathed

steel body and blown glass features.

A wee, attractively-weighted tool machine lathed in solid stainless steel.

An ode to my father’s decaying Anglepoise lamps.

OLARIA COFFEE TABLE, 2021

Empower craftsmanship by giving ceramic pieces heightened prominence in the home.

Coffee table featuring a ceramic element with both decorative and structural use.

The design allows the artisan complete creative freedom when shaping the

body of the vessel.
