Jochen Holz

Tumblers, 2021

£110 (price per glass)

Glass tumblers made from durable pyrex glass, which makes them heat and scratch resistant and suitable to put in the dishwasher or oven. This range of glassware uses the so called 'incalmo' technique, in which different coloured pieces or bands of colour are heated up and fused together. Each design comes in various colour combinations, which makes each one playful and unique.

Croydon Candles

Hand Painted Paraffin, Soy or Beeswax Candles

£15 (price per candle)

Croydon Candles are handmade in small batches of similar design. No candle is the same as another, each a distinct aesthetic object.  

The candles are either unscented or lightly scented with a combination of the following: cedarwood, sandalwood, oud, jasmine, seaspray, baby powder, patchouli, and fir pine. 

Karina Bisch

Umbrella

£125

For the past ten years Karina Bisch has built a visual narrative recalling the main figures of the 20th century avant-gardes. For the Karinascope umbrella, she made 8 felt pen drawings creating an anthology of the most recurrent patterns in her work. Their visual power literally unfolds at the umbrella's opening.

Ana Ogunsanya

Glazed Earthenware Vase

£108

This piece can be used as a vase, to house your favourite plant, as a stationery holder - or simply be appreciated in all its glory. Each earthenware, glazed pot has been handcrafted by Ana Ogunsanya. Ana's inspiration comes from her continuous research on a variety of topics such as Afrofemcentrism, Modern art, Pop art and Abstract expressionism. With each product Ana creates they should be used, loved, and desired, with the aim to bring enjoyment as a decorative object or a piece of art.

Alain Séchas

Ceramic Cork Stop

£45

The Bouchonchat (literally « catcork ») is an edition in ceramic by Alain Séchas which transforms any bottles into one of the many figures appearing in the drawings, paintings and sculptures of the French artist (born in 1955, lives and works in Paris). Questioning how art can be part of our everyday life, Séchas repeatedly brings in anthropomorphic figures (cats, Martians, octopuses or ghosts), creating a body of work charged with humor and a certain perplexity towards existence.

Marc Camille Chaimowicz

Kitchen Apron

£135

For WE DO NOT WORK ALONE, Marc Camille Chaimowicz conceived a limited art edition A Kitchen Apron with Two Pockets, that can be worn to do the domestic activities that he promoted as higher art in the 1960s in his home-studio on Approach Road. Drawing from his private and social life, his artistic activity took modest forms, without any claims or statements. For example, he would simply offer tea to the visitors.
