objects chosen with someone in mind

an object chosen with someone in mind can hold significance beyond its occasion. this december 2020 archive brings together small pieces for the home, from ceramics and glassware to everyday vessels.

the original gift selection is retained as a record of design references, not a current shopping guide. product details and availability should be confirmed with the suppliers. our melbourne interior styling approach considers personal objects alongside the larger elements of a room.

everyday vessels — al.ive body

the wash and lotion pairing in this archive illustrates how useful objects can also contribute to a bathroom or kitchen’s palette. the scale, finish and placement of a vessel matter within a composed surface.

a living object — the indoor plant co

the plant and pot pairing was selected as an alternative to a temporary floral arrangement. choose a plant for the available light and care it needs, and a vessel for its stability and relationship with the setting.

ceramics with character

clae studio vases are pictured in this archive, alongside the original references to ghost wares and leaf and thread. variations in form and glaze can bring the maker’s hand into a room.

a ceramic may stand on its own or hold an arrangement; give its profile enough space to be appreciated.

a seasonal detail — diptyque

the diptyque candle was part of the 2020 festive selection. its illustrated vessel offered a temporary layer within the home. fragrance is a personal choice, and any candle should be used according to its instructions and kept clear of combustible materials.

the table in use — ferm living

the ripple glasses and carafe by ferm living bring repeated texture to the table. everyday glassware can be chosen for its feel, function and the way it sits beside existing crockery.

furniture selection and styling extend from the room’s larger proportions to these smaller details, creating continuity without requiring every object to match.
