The value of a small handmade piece
Small objects can carry a surprising amount of work, choice and personal meaning.
Small does not mean incidental
Look closely at a small handmade piece and there is a lot to notice: a bead chosen for its colour, a knot for its shape, a charm for the way it sits against the next detail. We work at that scale, where individual decisions come together in something you can wear or carry.
The studio work behind the object
We develop components as well as experiences. The MAX&Co. project included beads made by hand in brand colours and distinct strings prepared from rope, suede, leather and mixed media. Lattafa’s bespoke charms and velvet pouches were developed as parts of one complete takeaway.
A personal decision changes the piece
Guests add another layer when they choose an initial, a colour or an arrangement of their own. The material may have been prepared in a small batch, but its final combination can belong to one person and one occasion.
Something to keep close
A small accessory can become familiar through use. It may live on a bag, be worn with a favourite outfit or recall an afternoon spent making with friends. Our interest is in that relationship between the care put into a piece and the life it takes on afterwards.
