MATERIALS & CARE
Keep good things in use.
A little attention goes a long way. Learn the character of your ceramics, find the right light for your plants, and choose materials that become more familiar with time.

CERAMICS
Everyday pieces, everyday care.
Rinse after use and wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Let pieces dry fully before stacking, and place a cloth between surfaces if storage is tight. Avoid sudden changes from very hot to very cold. Check each product’s guidance before using a dishwasher or microwave; decorative vases and planters belong outside the oven. A soft brush lifts marks from an unglazed foot.

LIVING GREENERY
Start with the light you have.
Watch a room through the day before choosing a plant. Check the soil with a finger before watering, let excess water drain, and empty the outer pot. Rotate plants occasionally and wipe broad leaves with a damp cloth. Growth changes with the season, so use the plant and soil as your guide. Individual species have different needs; read the care notes before bringing one home.

HONEST MATERIALS
Choose well. Keep longer.
Clay, wood, and woven fibers carry natural variations. We value useful forms, repairable habits, and small collections that earn their place. Keep wood dry after wiping, brush woven baskets gently, and protect furniture from moisture beneath planters. If you are unsure about a particular piece, send us its name and we will help you find the right care routine.
