A house, from morning to night.

Ceramics, linen, oak and stone, made by hand in small workshops and shown in the light they were made for. Scroll to walk through one day in one house.

kalkLime. The soft mineral plaster on the walls of old Dutch, Portuguese and Japanese houses.

We make a short list of things for the house: vessels, linen, lamps, a few pieces of oak. Each one is made by a person we can name, in a workshop we have visited, and photographed in the room it belongs to, at the hour it looks best.

One day,
one house

Keep scrolling and the day moves on. The light, the shadows and the colour of the walls follow it.

Hand and origin

Eleven workshops in five countries. We buy what they make in small runs and pay before the kiln is fired, not after the piece sells.

    Packed by the maker

    Every piece leaves the workshop wrapped in recycled linen and paper, never plastic.

    Thirty days at home

    See it in your own light. If it is wrong for the room, we collect it at no charge.

    Chips and cracks mended

    Send a damaged piece back to its maker and we will pay for the repair, for life.

    Carbon-neutral delivery

    By sea and rail where we can, and offset where we can't, to 30 countries.
