Marceau Platter, Dark Gradient
The Marceau Platter returns from the kiln in its darkest register yet. A near-black body deepens at the center and warms at each end, breaking into two translucent handles where the light finally gets through. One form, one firing, a gradient that will not come back the same way twice.

Mold Technique Comparison, Brutalist Panel

Category: Process
Date: 08-11-2026

The twelve-inch brutalist panel, cast twice, so the mold could be the only question. We built it once from a traditional 910 investment mold and once from silkemat and set the two side by side. The method we trusted most is the one that clouded and scuffed. The newer material came back clean.

Silkemat gave us a faster build, a clearer body, and crisp lines, at the cost of a softened corner and some fine detail on reuse. For a brutalist form built on the hard edge, that trade is the whole conversation. This is where we are having it, in the open.

Three objects, built within five years of each other, share a habit worth stopping for: none of them are quite what they first show you. A clock built from the shape of a writing screen. A vanity case whose ornament borrows an entire vocabulary rather than a single flourish. A garden, rendered in stone and shell, that opens on a hidden hinge to release a photograph no one advertised it held. Two Paris houses, one instinct — and we're showing all of it.

    Color Theory Experimentation
    Cast Glass Medallion

    CATEGORY: CATALOG
    DATE: 08-11-2026

    One form, cast again and again across a shifting palette. The medallion holds still, its scrolled relief pressed from a single mold, while the color moves through it experiment by experiment. What we are testing is not the shape but the glass itself: how a frit read one way in the jar becomes something else entirely once the kiln has had it.

    Color here is never applied to the surface. It is packed into the body as crushed glass and revealed only by the fire. This is the palette study behind the piece, laid out in full.

    Category: Process    Date: 07-20-26

    Before glass becomes light, it is broken. Loose fragments, packed into a plaster void and given to the fire — which does what no hand can, drawing a thousand pieces into one translucent body. A study in what heat remembers...

    Title: Kiln Study, Cast Glass Hardware
    Category: Catalog
    Date: 06-09-2026


    We started with the overlooked — the obsessive marine studies of the Blaschkas — and reverse-engineered their discipline into original an original category. Where they sought the exact, we introduced the brute: a heavy, deliberate obtuseness pressed into the form until precision and force held each other in balance. Iteration is the philosophy, not a phase. What you see is the study that survived, each iteration sharpens the odds...

    Date: 07-27-2026

    Three objects from two Paris houses, made within five years of each other, share one quiet habit: each takes something whole, a scholar's table screen, a vocabulary of Chinese motifs, a garden landscape, and rebuilds it in precious material as an object with an entirely different job, leaving the source legible for anyone paying attention. Cartier turned a Chinese desk screen into a clock and lifted a decorative language into a vanity case. Verger Frères, one of only two ateliers holding the mystery clock's secret, disguised a mechanical photograph frame as nothing but a mosaic garden, its second identity hidden until you flip it over. Read them together and the instinct becomes clearer than any one piece reveals on its own.
