Since every piece is handmade, each one is unique. Features such as small air bubbles, slight irregularities or subtle colour differences appear during production because of the nature of the material. Of course, I always aim for the final product to meet your highest standards and mine, but I believe this is exactly what makes each piece special.

care
concrete may seem like a familiar material, but there are still a few care tips I have to mention.
- the pieces are not dishwasher safe
- concrete pieces are strong, but definitely not indestructible. treat them the way you would treat ceramics or glass
- if something spills or they get dusty, simply wipe with a damp cloth
- clean stubborn dirt or grease stains with washing-up liquid // a cream cleanser and the soft side of a sponge
- wet cleaning wipes containing alcohol also work great on white pieces
all pieces are sealed against water and dirt, so they are as easy to clean as possible if something happens. a video about how the sealant works is here:
still, concrete is a porous material and the sealant wears off over time, so you can give it extra protection yourself by rubbing in linseed oil.
how to remove wax from trays // candle holders?
trays are often used for candles. once the candles have burned down and the wax has cooled, remove what's left with a blunt object, then warm the remaining marks with hot air, e.g. a hair dryer, while soaking up the melting wax with a paper towel.
I made a short video about this process, have a look:
enjoy them, and thank you: by supporting small makers, you help big dreams come true!

we make only as many pieces as needed. our shelves are definitely not buckling or gathering dust under unsold stock. that's exactly why you sometimes need to wait a little.

from our hands to your home.
We believe simple things are never plain, and that clean forms and familiar textures, rediscovered, bring originality to your home.
We create minimalist, yet bold interior pieces that are accessible to everyone.
Every piece is handmade, cast and carefully finished in Klaipėda, Lithuania.
