Collection N° I · Olive

Botanica Nocturne

An olive branch, engraved as a naturalist's plate. Made to order, finished by hand.

The plate

A record, not an ornament.

A dense engraved botanical drawn in the manner of a nineteenth-century naturalist plate — one olive branch, rendered in linework fine enough to read as an apothecary label at arm's length and as botany up close.

The making

Made to be used

Not a print run. Each piece is made after it is ordered, to a standard set for daily use rather than for display.

  1. 01

    Made to order

    Nothing is warehoused. Each piece is made after it is bought — slower, and better: no surplus, no clearance, and no season that ends in a sale.

  2. 02

    Finished by hand

    Every piece is made and finished by hand to order, then checked before it is packed. Where a hem, an edge or a seam is involved, a person has handled it.

  3. 03

    Built for daily use

    These are working objects, not display pieces. The tray gets carried and the tea towel goes in the wash, and they are made to be treated that way.

Material composition, dimensions and care are listed on each piece.
