Essence of the Amazon

Elevate your dining experience with our Sobremesa Collection, a testament to the beauty and resilience of the Amazon Rainforest. Each piece is sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring compliance with local laws, respect for indigenous rights, and worker safety. This initiative not only brings the unique warmth of the Amazon into your home but also supports the preservation of its invaluable ecosystems.

Behind every hand-carved wooden serving bowl is the craftsmanship of Yanesha artisans, brought to the international stage by PaTS, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing sustainable incomes and preserving biodiversity. This collaboration embodies our commitment to ethical practices and environmental stewardship.

By choosing the Sobremesa Collection, you're not just selecting a piece of tableware; you're supporting a cycle of sustainability and conservation, ensuring the Amazon's beauty and biodiversity endure for generations to come. Join us in making a difference, one table setting at a time.

Vibrant Essence of the Mediterranean

Our Ceramics Collection, crafted in a renowned Tunisian artisan studio since 2009, brings the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean to your table. Each piece, adorned with colorful mandala patterns and bold stripes, is not just a dish but a work of art, designed to be both dishwasher and oven safe for practical elegance.

In a 8,000 square foot studio, skilled artisans meticulously hand-paint every detail onto the white clay, ensuring that each ceramic piece is unique. More than just creating beautiful tableware, we're committed to the artisans' well-being, offering permanent contracts, insurance, and free transportation, highlighting our dedication to ethical craftsmanship.

Embrace the Mediterranean's warmth and color with our Ceramics Collection, where each piece tells a story of tradition, artistry, and care.

 

Transforming Recycled Glass into Treasures

Founded in 1976 in the quaint village of Cantel, Guatemala, this worker-owned cooperative was driven by a vision to create sustainable jobs that provide a living wage, health insurance, and family support. With the ambition to forge a livelihood free from exploitation and a commitment to environmental stewardship, the artisans secured a small loan to purchase land and construct their kiln and workspace. Decades later, they continue to skillfully transform recycled glass into exquisite glassware, staying true to their foundational goals of sustainable living and environmental protection.
