The Poetry of Materials in the Home

A well-designed interior is more than the sum of its parts—it’s a living composition where materials interact, reflecting light, texture, and intention. When elements like glass, clay, and metal are thoughtfully combined, they elevate a space beyond function, turning it into an experience that invites curiosity, warmth, and reflection. Each material carries its own story, yet together they form a dialogue that feels harmonious and alive.



Imagine the delicate fluidity of the mouthblown glass vessel by Nicole Walker, with organic curves that seem to shift shape as light changes throughout the day. Perched on a windowsill or table, it catches subtle glimmers, its playful, biomorphic design hinting at both the familiar and surreal. Walker’s pieces aren’t just objects—they encourage interaction, their shapes inviting a closer look, sparking curiosity at every glance.



In contrast, Lucie Rie’s volcanic-glazed stoneware vase brings a sense of grounding to the space. Its textured surface and simple, elegant silhouette reflect Rie’s modernist sensibility, creating balance with understated beauty. When placed near Walker’s glass piece, Rie’s ceramic vase tempers the lightness of glass with earthy substance, offering both a tactile and visual counterpoint.



Completing the composition, metal introduces structure and subtle ornamentation. The Tulip Single Pendant, crafted from vintage serving spoons, adds just the right touch of whimsy, softening its industrial roots with a floral-inspired shape. Suspended above a reading nook or dining table, it casts a gentle glow, accenting the surrounding objects with warmth and shadow. In this interplay, metal provides contrast without overpowering, enhancing the movement and flow between glass and clay.



When materials like these come together, they create spaces that engage the senses and tell a story. A room becomes more than a backdrop—it evolves into a place of reflection, where every element, from a shimmering glass vessel to a textured ceramic vase, contributes to the home’s atmosphere. In these spaces, beauty isn’t just seen; it’s lived.
