How a commission becomes a table

From a restaurant sketch to sixty place settings — the slow route from idea to service.

How a commission becomes a tableJournal / field note

A commission starts with a conversation, not a catalogue. What is served, how it is plated, how the room is lit — the tableware has to belong to that specific table.

Prototype, test, repeat

We throw sample forms, fire them in the next scheduled kiln and put them through a real service. Chefs are honest critics: a plate that is beautiful but awkward to carry does not survive the trial week.

Sixty plates is not one design repeated — it is one family raised together.

What a commission includes

  • Two prototype rounds fired with regular editions.
  • A glaze developed for the room and its light.
  • Replacement pieces guaranteed for three years.

We take on a handful of commissions each season, scheduled between kiln releases. The waiting list is part of the process.
