what makes us modern?

tools for living

Louis Sullivan, grandfather of Modernist architecture, believed ultimate use must dictate a design  –  form follows function. Utilitarian objects such as cups, containers and bowls are tools for living. Designed to efficiently achieve human need, with clean lines and void of superfluous flourish, they are the embodiment of Modernism. And in that modernist simplicity, there is beauty. explore tools for living

craft reinterpreted 

Our artisan-made housewares showcase modern motifs rendered using time-honored, geographically specific methods. Rwandan and Ugandan basket making techniques shine through bold patterns. From the Indian subcontinent, hand-loomed khadis and ikats are transformed into on-trend table linens. In Jaipur, master kantha embroiderers use delicate stitches passed down for generations to create color-blocked quilts. And terra cotta traditions from Gujarat to Mexico and beyond are employed to form vessels with fashion forward silhouettes.
