Mozambique Colorama

There’s something special about the perfectly-imperfect nature of ceramics. The raw touch, the way the light comes through and that it’s made from the earth all make a ceramic base more than a container.

After decades of using impersonal industrial products, clay, artisans and local manufacturing is making a comeback in interior decor.

Our ceramics are handmade by an artist in northern Gujarat using wild clay that is as minimally processed as possible. This art form is thousands of years old and allows us to go back to a simpler time. A material that is sustainable and low-polluting, clay gives us the relaxed warmth we’re craving.

The Raw Terracotta base is beautiful but fragile like glass.

Dream material. Cork is great looking and nice to touch. It's also water resistant and light, so it's easy to move around. The raw material is derived from the outer bark of the cork oak tree. Once sheared, the bark grows back quickly. It doesn’t require cutting the tree down – just skinning it. Today it’s experiencing a resurgence in design and architecture because it’s recyclable, carbon negative and brings contemporary glamour wherever it’s placed.

Cane never goes out of fashion. It simultaenously blends in and enhances a space; feels nostalgic and yet modern. It suits every interior style from traditional to coastal to contemporary. The imperfections, rough finish and unevenness are all part of its charm. Or perhaps it just resonates more strongly in an age where mass-produced techniques look and feel dull in comparison. Its lightness and softness bring a romance that few other materials possess. Our cane bases are made by a neighbourhood canewalla in Mumbai.

It asks for nothing. Whilst it prefers to be placed in indirect bright light, it will adapt to survive in lower light without much of a fuss.

It likes to be watered deeply but infrequently, approximately once or twice a week.

It's pest free and no trouble at all.
