Refusing to compromise for over 30 years, they stand firm on that commitment.

Today, it stands as a well-established international brand, attracting followers seeking iconic, functional, and sustainable furniture and accessories.

They are created to withstand times and trends. Sustainable materials combined with a design expression that should last, each icon is manufactured to be able to go through generation to generation. Timeless aesthetics and well-thought-out manufacturing ensure that each piece of furniture retains its status for decades. Probably more.

Orla Culligan creates unique slip cast ceramics for the home in Clonakilty, Cork. She strives to provide high–quality products that bring joy to the owner’s home while keeping her business sustainable by minimising waste and maintaining a low environmental impact. The original inspiration for her work comes from discovering 'rubbish' washed up on the beaches where she grew up in East Cork. As she walks along the beach, flotsam and jetsam become tangled among the seaweed, their bright synthetic man–made colours standing out. Upon closer scrutiny, these objects reveal a gorgeous range of textures where the sea has intervened; seams and edges have softened, yet evidence of the making process and the machine still remains.
