Some objects are used, some are kept, but the ones Alteo selects are both.

Our curation is built around that distinction: pieces that last beautifully because they are well made, with a design that lasts beyond trends. Objects that deserve their place in our everyday lives, which are made by people who refused to compromise and chosen because they bring pleasure every day.

  • AKUA OBJECTS

    Akua Objects is a Copenhagen-based glassware studio founded by Annika Zobel Agerled and Josefine Arthur. Annika's love of glass goes back to childhood, to pieces her father — an antique dealer — brought home from his travels; that early fascination grew into a brand built on what the founders call "glass with poetic precision." Each piece starts with research and sketching before being developed hands-on with glassblowers in Murano and the Czech Republic, historic centres of the craft.

    The result is a collection of glasses, vases and decorative objects with rounded, botanically-inspired forms and warm, saturated colour — reds, oranges, ochres — that draw as much from nature and Art Deco as from the history of the medium itself. For Akua, glass is treated less as tableware than as a small luxury object in its own right, where craftsmanship and story matter as much as function.

  • ARENSBAK

    Arensbak is a Copenhagen-based drinks house founded in 2021 by siblings Vibeke and Christian Arensbak together with sommelier Emilie Øst-Jacobsen and food scientist Bram Kerkhof. The idea started with a gap they kept noticing at the table: while wine pairings were treated with real care, the non-alcoholic option was an afterthought. Rather than dealcoholise wine, the team built something new from the ground up, fermenting premium Pu'er and Oolong teas and layering in botanical infusions to develop natural acids, tannins and aromatics.

    The result reads as genuinely vinous — structured, complex, with the acidity, mouthfeel and lingering finish of a fine wine, but without the alcohol. "Fermentation is our heartbeat," as co-founder Bram Kerkhof puts it: it's where the soul of each bottle comes from. Now poured in close to 80 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide, Arensbak was built for people who want a serious drink at the table, alcohol or not.

  • Astrid Houssin

    Astrid Houssin is an interior architecture and furniture studio founded in 2019 in Paris by the eponymous designer, whose portfolio spans Paris apartments, chic Alpine chalets, London townhouses and country estates across England. Each project blends contemporary and antique pieces with care, accent colours and rich materials, in an eclectic aesthetic where heritage and craftsmanship surface with subtlety. Following a rebrand of the studio, Astrid now brings that same sensibility to a line of bespoke furniture, customisable in size and finish, drawing on the bold lines and organic motifs of Art Deco, made in collaboration with a family-run workshop in Portugal.

  • Agustina Bottoni

    Agustina Bottoni is a designer born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, based and active in Milan since 2016. Her house creates glassware and home objects handcrafted by a network of skilled Italian artisans, working between glassblowing and flame-working.

    The brand's world rests on a dual cultural identity, Argentinian and Milanese, which infuses every collection with a contemporary sensibility while honouring traditional craftsmanship. The pieces (champagne coupes, cocktail glasses, carafes, tumblers) stand out for their sculptural forms, their embraced irregularities and their handmade finishes, where no two pieces are ever strictly identical. This approach is a conscious departure from mass production: local manufacturing, fair labour, and respect for materials and the environment.

  • Ayllón

    Ayllón is an Australian brand which creates jewelry, bags and leather pieces at the confluence of sculpture and adornment. Minimal in form yet rich in intention, each piece is conceived as a small objet d'art, worked in silver, glass and leather.

    Unbound by passing trends, the house offers a considered collection, meant to be worn and carried with ease and kept over time. A quiet, sculptural sensibility that runs across jewelry, leather goods and object.

  • BAAR BAAR

    BAARBAAR is a Korean jewelry house based in Seoul, built on the belief that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication. Every piece, from jewelry to small objects, is entirely handmade, with a focus on clean, timeless forms meant to blend naturally into everyday life. Rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets with a sculptural, minimal aesthetic, designed to be worn with ease, season after season.

  • BAINA

    Baina is an Australian house of considered bathing essentials, founded by Bailey Meredith and Anna Fahey, who treat bathing as an intentional ritual rather than a purely functional act. The brand is best known for its GOTS-certified organic cotton towelling, woven in Portugal, but its Apothecary range is where this philosophy of bathing as self-care truly comes through: a six-piece collection of bath milk, bath salts, body wash, body scrub, post-bathe oil and hand wash, each formulated with native plant extracts, mineral-rich clays and naturally-derived actives. The whole line is unified by a signature scent, Ebon Veil, a warm woody blend of sandalwood, vetiver and amyris, clean, conscious and cruelty-free throughout.

  • BOTHI

    BOTHI is a design house founded in 2025 in Amsterdam by designer Ollee Means, sitting somewhere between gallery and shop. The house develops furniture, lighting and objects in collaboration with independent designers, while also producing its own pieces, made with the rigour of a functional object and the care of a collectible one. Every piece, made in Amsterdam, sits between the everyday and the considered, too intentional for mass production, too useful to exist only as display.

  • Casa Bosques

    Casa Bosques Chocolate is a project by Rafael Prieto, founder and creative director of Savvy Studio, a design practice based in Mexico City and New York. Made with just two ingredients, heirloom cacao beans and organic cane sugar, with no emulsifiers or artificial flavorings, each bar highlights the nuance of its origin. The house regularly collaborates with artists on limited editions, turning chocolate into a genuine creative medium as much as a treat. An object designed with the same graphic rigor as Savvy Studio's other work.

  • Christina Iversen Studio

    Christina Iversen Studio is a Danish house based in Aarhus, handcrafting ceramics and jewelry around a single idea: sea therapy. Porcelain cups, vases and bowls draw on the organic forms of the shoreline, shells, mussels, oysters, bringing the calm of the ocean into everyday moments, from the first coffee of the morning to small pauses stolen from the day. The house has since expanded into sculptural jewelry, in silver and 14-karat gold, with the same commitment to Danish craftsmanship built to last.

  • CORPUS NATURALS

    Corpus is a California-based body care brand founded by J.P. Mastey, born from a simple frustration: the search for a natural deodorant that actually works. What began in 2015 as a personal quest became, in 2018, a full line of effective, naturally-formulated essentials — deodorants, body butters, scrubs and washes, hair and hand care, and candles. Every product is built around Corpus's philosophy of "controlled nature," proving that effectiveness and naturalness aren't mutually exclusive.

    Each fragrance is developed in-house over a year or more, using natural perfumery techniques rarely seen outside luxury fragrance houses. Formulas are vegan, plant-based, and built on biodegradable actives, produced with renewable energy. The result is a considered, quietly luxurious approach to everyday care — one rooted in the idea of leaving things a little better than they found them.

  • COSEINCORSO

    COSEINCORSO is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2021 by Marzia Cerio and Marwann Frikach. Their practice explores the boundary between art and design, blending a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic with traditional craftsmanship, aiming to bring poetry back into the making process, as in the traditional arts and crafts. Every piece, furniture, home accessories, objects, is made in collaboration with local artisans using locally sourced materials, translating the history, geography or archaeology of a specific culture into a series of limited-run, poetic designs.

  • CUVEE ALTER

    Alter Cuvée is the flagship range from A.I.R. Distillations, a young non-alcoholic distillery founded in Antwerp in late 2025 by Ina Simone Averhals, Ruben Van Aken and Alexander Scott Jones. Rather than dealcoholising wine, the trio distils individual botanicals — much of it grown on their own fields — into single-ingredient distillates, then blends them with verjus and grape juices using genuine winemaking logic. Their signature technique, "botanical ageing," rebuilds each blend into a drink with real primary, secondary and tertiary aromas, layered like a proper cuvée.

    The result is a small range — Cuvée Rouge Casca, Cuvée Blanc Cedro, Cuvée Pétillant Geranium, Awa Shiso — built entirely without additives or artificial flavour. Alter treats "crafted, not removed" as a founding principle: a genuinely new category of sophisticated, alcohol-free drink for the table, not a substitute for one.

  • ESKA

    ESKA is a Parisian atelier founded in 2020 by Quentin da Fonte, dedicated to reviving a craft that had nearly disappeared: the dipped candle, or chandelle trempée. Each candle is made by hand using this ancestral technique, the wick repeatedly dipped into warm beeswax, building layer by layer, every gesture reflecting the hand of the artisan. The result burns slowly and cleanly for up to six and a half hours, casting a warm light and a subtle trace of honey. Old craft, quietly reimagined for the contemporary home.

  • F. Miller

    F. Miller is a skincare brand founded in 2014 in Toronto by Fran Miller. Born from its founder's own struggle to find the products she was looking for, the brand offers a deliberately edited range of botanical essentials, built around a philosophy of luxurious minimalism: "everything you need, nothing you don't."

    Its signature product, the Face Oil, embodies this philosophy: a carefully balanced formula that nourishes all skin types while delivering multi-correctional results. F. Miller relies on certified organic, responsibly farmed or clinically proven active ingredients, sourced in partnership with committed manufacturers, both local and international. Every product is designed to be multi-purpose and to layer easily with others within a simplified routine.

    The brand stands by clear commitments: no compromises, no animal cruelty, no greenwashing, no over-complication — and, in turn, efficacy, ethical sourcing, transparency and environmental responsibility, with close attention paid to circular packaging and waste reduction. The range now spans facial care (oil, serum, cleansing oil, toning mist, tinted balms) to body and hair care, as well as ritual objects such as the facial sculpting tool.

  • GLOW GLOW WINES

    Glow Glow is the natural-wine project of siblings Carl and Pauline Baumberger, launched in 2019 inside their family's estate in Mandel, in Germany's Nahe region — a farm that has been in the Baumberger family since 1855. Rather than break away, Carl and Pauline started small, fermenting their first cuvées in two half-barrels with their parents' full blessing, and asking a simple question: what else can the Nahe do? The answer became Glow Glow — organically farmed, naturally fermented, unfiltered wines made with no added sulfur and real stylistic freedom.

    The wines are light, precise and a little irreverent — "fine like linen," as the siblings describe them — built to capture the pure vividness of fruit and place rather than to fit a formula. Still very much a family affair, Glow Glow has become one of the more talked-about names to come out of German natural wine in recent years.

  • HUGO PERIESSE

    Hugo Periesse is a French designer and woodworker based in a small village near Vichy, in the Allier. For four years he has been giving new life to wood others have discarded — reclaimed offcuts from local sawmills and industrial waste — through turning, gouge carving, and traditional "mi-bois" joinery, occasionally paired with brushed aluminium. His pieces, among them the Bougeoir Sylvestre candleholders, sit somewhere between sculpture and furniture: functional objects shaped by a slow, contemplative approach to the material.

    Hugo works without locking himself into a single style, preferring to follow the wood's own history and keep discovering new forms. Sustainability runs through the practice — sourcing locally, salvaging rather than buying new — and so does a taste for collaboration, trading ideas and techniques with other artisans along the way.

  • IFUJI

    IFUJI is a Japanese craft house founded in 2004 by Masashi Ifuji in Nagano. Trained in traditional woodworking techniques, he first shaped oval boxes, tableware and furniture entirely on his own, before the workshop grew into a team of over twenty craftspeople, without ever straying from its original approach. The house uses only solid wood from sustainably managed forests, made to last for decades and to be repaired rather than replaced. Each piece, spare in form and attentive to the natural grain of the wood, embodies a simple philosophy: fewer objects, chosen with care, to live more intentionally with what surrounds you.

  • Justine Ménard

    Justine Ménard is a French glass artist based in Barcelona. Born and raised in Paris, she first studied fashion design and worked as a stylist between Paris and London before turning to jewelry making. She trained in traditional metalwork, notably at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and at the Haute École de Joaillerie in Paris, before discovering glassblowing, which became her medium of choice.

    Her creative journey began in the world of fashion, working with silhouettes, materials and emotion. In glass, she found a more intimate and poetic medium — a living material that breathes, vibrates and captures a fleeting beauty. Through this ancient technique of blown glass, she explores a resolutely contemporary form of expression.

    Her work draws inspiration from mythology, femininity and the organic forms of nature. Each piece — jewelry or object — is blown and shaped by mouth and by hand, making every creation unique: the breath and the artisanal gesture never produce two identical pieces.

  • KEIKO IVONNE

    Keiko Ivonne Ceramics was born from a quest for everyday beauty. Its founder, who worked in furniture and accessory design for major fashion houses before launching her own brand, brings that same eye to clay. Each piece,cup, vase, or tray, is conceived as an invitation to slow down and savor the present moment: an object that makes you want to pick up flowers on your way home, or that calls for a meal shared with loved ones.

    The brand's name pays tribute to Keiko and Ivonne, the founder's grandmothers: two determined, creative, and inspiring women whose legacy infuses every creation. A sensitive, soulful ceramic practice that finds its place in daily life, making it a little more beautiful, day after day.

  • La Cavalerie

    Domaine de la Cavalerie is the Ungaro family's private estate at the foot of the Luberon, built around an olive grove first planted by couturier Emanuel Ungaro. It was his daughter, Cosima Ungaro, who launched La Cavalerie olive oil, now grown on roughly 5,000 Aglandau olive trees across fifteen hectares of limestone soil bathed in Provençal light. Hand-picked early in mid-October while the olives are still green, the oil is cold-pressed within three hours of harvest to preserve freshness and its polyphenol content, twice the Mediterranean average. Certified organic (Ecocert) and AOP Provence, it is produced in a limited annual edition of around 2,000 bottles under the name Artemis, marked by a green, lively profile of artichoke and raw almond, balanced bitterness and a peppery finish. Multi-award-winning (gold at the NYIOOC, London IOOC, Concours National AOP and Région Sud), it is favoured by chefs such as Ignacio Mattos and Laila Gohar, and praised by Vogue, the Wall Street Journal and M Le Monde.

  • La Romaine Editions

    La Romaine Editions is a Parisian house founded by Pauline Vincent, born from a personal attachment to Romaine, the family holiday home that lends its name to the brand, and a childhood spent surrounded by artisans and collectors. The house reinvents everyday objects, glassware and tableware in particular, working with master glassblowers trained in traditional Italian glassblowing techniques. Alongside a permanent collection, thematic series punctuate the year, each paying tribute to a colour, a season or a mood, with a playful and distinctly poetic aesthetic.

  • Lié Studio

    Lié Studio is a Danish accessories house founded in late 2021 in Copenhagen by twin sisters Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard, both with a background in fashion. Born from a simple observation, the lack of refined, timeless accessories built to last across seasons, their designs began with jewelry before expanding into leather goods and eyewear. Designed for a fast-paced lifestyle, each Lié Studio piece is conceived as a lasting staple, made to be worn year after year, in fine materials and with careful craftsmanship.

  • Louis Abel

    Louis Abel is a Swedish jewellery house based in Borås, handcrafting sculptural pieces in recycled sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil. Each design draws from natural forms and everyday memory, the swirl of a whirlpool, the pattern of a labyrinth, a childhood by the sea, reimagined into quietly striking silhouettes. Pieces are finished by hand in the atelier, and small imperfections are left as traces of the maker rather than smoothed away, giving each piece its own character. Louis Abel also produces a fine jewellery line and occasional limited-edition collaborations.

  • Louise Roe

    Louise Roe is a Danish design house founded in 2010 by the eponymous designer, trained in fashion and concept development. With a strong artistic vision and a deep appreciation for European craftsmanship, she works with independent artisans across the continent to create simple objects for the contemporary home, furniture, lighting, sculptural pieces, rooted in minimalism yet carrying an avant-garde sensibility, where material and natural texture take the lead. In 2018, she opened Louise Roe Gallery in the heart of Copenhagen, now a landmark of Scandinavian design, extended by her own café, The Roe Bar.

  • Natalia Criado

    Natalia Criado is a Colombian designer, trained in industrial design in Milan, who founded her own jewelry and accessories house in 2011. Her work expresses the meeting of two cultural legacies, Colombia, where she was born, and Italy, where she trained, working closely with expert artisans from both countries. Known for delicate pieces with clean, geometric forms and a multicultural, refined aesthetic, she expanded her world in 2018 into a line of tableware and objects, where contemporary design and craftsmanship meet with the same sensibility.

  • Perfumer H

    Perfumer H is a British fragrance house founded in 2015 in London by Lyn Harris, one of the few independent female perfumers in the world.

    The house's laboratory, based on Crawford Street in Marylebone, functions as a true perfumer's studio: fragrances are composed, tested and refined on site, closer in spirit to bespoke perfumery than to the conventional fragrance industry. That artisanal rigour runs through every bottle, candle and scented object the house produces.

    Perfumer H's visual identity, spare and almost clinical at first glance, sits in deliberate contrast with the richness and complexity of its compositions: smoked woods, resins, green and mineral notes, white flowers, ink and paper. The house's creations do not aim to seduce instantly, but to tell a memory, a place, a precise sensation, rain on wood, ink on a blank page, a shirt worn for years.

  • Pico Copenhagen

    Pico Copenhagen is a Danish jewellery and hair accessories brand founded in 2004. What started as a vision to bring colour and quality into everyday style has grown into Denmark's leading name in hair ornaments and accessories, with four physical stores in Copenhagen and Aarhus alongside its webshop. Every piece is designed in-house, combining two decades of expertise with a commitment to quality materials, primarily gold-plated brass and 925 sterling silver, 24-karat gold plating, and nickel-free finishes.

  • ROBBE STUDIO

    ROBBÉ is an Amsterdam-based jewelry studio founded by Sam de Vries Robbé, built around a simple idea: everyday jewelry reimagined as small, wearable sculptures. The studio's signature piece, the Rock-Shaped Cufflink, grew out of its debut collection, "Shaped by Stone" — a study of natural rock formations translated into sterling silver and gold-plated cufflinks, alongside modular poplin cuffs and one-off commissions. Every piece is hand-finished, favouring irregular, tactile forms over polished symmetry.

    ROBBÉ calls its pieces "Dressing Objects" — versatile enough to be mixed and matched across seasons rather than confined to a single occasion. The studio's guiding thread is texture and form: an interest in how strength and subtlety, rock and metal, quietly shape the way we dress.

  • SACHAJUAN

    SACHAJUAN is a Swedish hair care house founded in 2004 in Stockholm by Sacha Mitic and Juan Rosenlind, two renowned hairdressers whose careers spanned Gothenburg to New York. Frustrated by the lack of products able to deliver truly healthy, sleek, shiny hair, they spent years researching before developing their own line. The house is built around its signature Ocean Silk Technology, developed in Sweden from two cold-water algae, Rhodophycea and Chondrus Crispus, which strengthen and enhance the hair fibre. True to a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic, SACHAJUAN pairs scientific rigour with everyday ease, treating hair care as a ritual that is simple, elegant and high-performing.

  • Sasha x Sasha

    Sasha X Sasha is the result of a collaboration between Alexandra Gineva and Alexander Dobrovsky, both graduates of the Moscow Architectural Institute and holders of a master's degree in architecture from St. Lucas University, earned in the 2010s. They founded Masterskaya in 2013 before establishing their own studio, Sasha X Sasha, in Paris in 2019. From 2020 to today, they have taken part in numerous exhibitions across Europe, notably in Paris, Moscow, and Milan.

    Their work draws its primary inspiration from temporary furniture built by construction workers in Russia, assembled from whatever materials could be found on site. Using leftover building materials and improvised finds, they craft the objects needed for everyday life, such as tables and benches, transforming necessity into a distinct design language.

  • Service Projects

    Service Projects is a tableware brand founded in late 2022 in New York, now based in Copenhagen. It designs everyday objects built to last: dishware, glassware and table accessories that balance form and function in a subtle equilibrium between classicism and modernity.

    Its name, "Service Projects", reflects the brand's ambition: to create pieces that fully serve their purpose, with close attention paid to materials and detail. The house draws inspiration from its founders' travels and their visits to restaurants and bars around the world — from Michelin-starred establishments in Copenhagen to French bistros, Japanese izakayas and Italian osterias — as well as from architecture, film and furniture, always in pursuit of that same longevity and craftsmanship.

    The brand offers several collections, including the Walter range (carafes and glassware), Canteen (flatware), Porcelain and Metal, as well as a "Classics" line bringing together signature pieces such as the aluminum pepper mill and ice cream cups.

  • Shop Julietta

    Julietta is an independent jewelry house based in New York, founded by Juliana Liden. The work begins with proportion: every piece is conceived as an object in its own right, with its own weight, volume and presence, jewelry never treated as mere decoration but as a structural element within a look. This approach traces back to the founder's early habit of dismantling worn jewelry and rebuilding it into new forms, an interest in transformation and structure that has stayed with her since. The collections move between sculptural silhouettes and expressive colour, drawing on the glamour and boldness of the 1970s and 1980s while remaining grounded in clarity of form, produced in limited runs with close attention to material and finish.

  • Sophie Lou Jacobsen

    Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American designer specializing in home goods, furniture and industrial design, based in New York. She opened her studio in 2019 and has since become known for her colored glass objects with soft, organic forms: wavy vases, carafes, stemware and lighting.

    Her style is strongly influenced by the fazzoletto ("handkerchief"), a glassblowing technique invented in ancient Rome and rediscovered in the 1940s by Italian glass masters Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini, which gives her pieces the appearance of delicately draped fabric. She regularly collaborates with glassblower Adam Holtzinger.

    Her signature creations include hand-blown glass bottles and "totem glasses", sand-cast aluminum coasters, and martini glasses with colorful wavy stems, sometimes topped with a small glass bouquet. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue, Elle Decor and the New York Times, and she has notably collaborated with wallpaper house de Gournay on a chinoiserie-inspired collection of lighting and mirrors.

  • Spaces Within

    Spaces Within is a Swedish label based in Stockholm, founded in 2020, specializing in sculptural furniture hardware: knobs, handles and hooks for furniture and cabinetry. The brand conceives its pieces as true jewelry for interior spaces — sensual forms, textured finishes and singular proportions exploring themes of refinement, elegance and poetic expression.

    Each piece has its own aesthetic identity and can be used alone or combined with other models from the collection, allowing for playful pairings of materials and finishes within a single space. The range includes the Blunt, Luna, Sage, Doyen, Suave and Selene models, available in several sizes and finishes, including dark brass.

  • STUDIO HERMANO

    Studio Hermano is a Brussels-based design studio led by Alexandre Hermans, working alongside his brother Henri from complementary practices in Brussels and Antwerp. Their work is built on three guiding principles — silence, texture and craftsmanship — and unfolds through an intuitive process where form and materiality are allowed to emerge on their own, rather than following a fixed plan. The result is a collection of sculptural lamps and art objects, each shaped by raw textures and natural materials, with contours left rough or refined depending on where the material wants to go.

    Raised in design-conscious surroundings, the brothers bring a shared instinct for proportion, atmosphere and matter to everything they make. Studio Hermano favours small-scale, handcrafted production over trend-driven design, so that each piece keeps something of the hand that made it — quiet, textural, and never quite the same twice.

  • Tavares 1922

    Tavares 1922 is a Portuguese high jewelry house founded in 1922 by Virgílio Aristides Tavares in Póvoa de Varzim. Over a century later, the house remains true to that same heritage, now carried forward by brothers Miguel and Simão Tavares, who have dedicated their lives to understanding and preserving the deeper meaning of Portuguese jewelry. Known for jewelry and sacred art pieces alike, Tavares 1922 blends rare artisanal rigour with age-old craftsmanship, in a constant pursuit of the finest materials and the truest detail. Timeless jewelry, carried by over a hundred years of tradition.

  • TEKLA

    Tekla is a Danish textile house founded in 2017 in Copenhagen by Charlie Hedin, former member of Acne Studios' communications team and co-founder of Eytys. Tired of searching endlessly for home essentials that were beautiful, practical and made with care for both people and the planet, he spent over three years researching textiles, sourcing and sleep before creating the brand himself. Tekla is best known today for its organic cotton percale bedding and its Merino wool collection developed with John Pawson, a minimal, rigorous approach to home textiles, made to last.

  • Tomète

    Tomète is a Paris-based home textiles brand founded by Maud Balagna. The name Tomète nods to the hexagonal terracotta "tomettes" tiles found across Provence and Paris, a tribute to France and its way of living. The brand draws inspiration from antique linens, embroidery, vintage jewelry, and the colors of paintings, creating pieces that balance timelessness with a modern edge.

    Linen is Tomète's signature material: 100% European Flax, locally grown, embroidered and crafted in Portugal by skilled artisans. Every piece is designed with meticulous attention to detail and carefully inspected before it ships. The brand's flagship collections, Festons (its signature scalloped embroidery) and Volute (with flowing, spiral-inspired contours), embody this commitment to lasting quality and distinctive style.

  • Tsubota pearl

    Tsubota Pearl is a Japanese house founded in 1952 in Tokyo by Hiroshi Tsubota, its name a tribute to the first cultured pearl, invented in Japan. Based in the Asakusa district, the house has spent over 70 years crafting refillable metal lighters built to last: replaceable wicks and flints, repairability designed in from the start, standing against a culture of disposability. A minimalist, functional object, true to a craftsmanship passed down through generations.

  • Ulysse Sauvage

    Ulysse Sauvage is a Paris based glass studio founded in 2020 by a trained scientific glassblower. Working exclusively with borosilicate glass, a highly durable material more commonly used for laboratory equipment, she shapes each piece by hand over a flame, letting the glass find its own form with minimal intervention. The result is a range of everyday objects, including glasses, candle holders and egg cups, where no two pieces are ever quite alike. The studio works only with European glass, and packaging is made mostly from recycled materials.
