3: LIVING IN HARMONY
Today marks a significant milestone in our journey as a company. We've recently unveiled a new line of products that embody a philosophy we've held close to our hearts: simplicity and connection with our surroundings.
The idea stemmed from a realization that our homes have gradually become filled with mass-produced, artificial items that lack the soul and authenticity of natural materials. It felt like a departure from what we believe in – a life lived in harmony with the environment.
To challenge this trend, we set out on a different path. We chose to work with a workshop in Java and locally sourced stones, each unique in its form, color, and texture. It wasn’t an easy task; each stone demanded individual attention, shaping it into a bowl or plate that highlighted its inherent beauty.
The decision to source these stones in a local river, near to the workshop wasn’t solely about reducing shipping impact; it was about forming connections within our surrounding from the beginning on. It meant engaging with local dealerships and workers, understanding the stories behind each stone, and celebrating the diversity of our immediate environment.
There’s a profound impact in surrounding ourselves with natural, well-crafted items. It’s more than just aesthetics; it’s about a shift in lifestyle. It's about acknowledging the significance of our choices and their impact on our immediate surroundings and the planet at large.
In a world where excess often overshadows mindful living, our work represents a stance for quality over quantity. It’s a testament to the beauty found in simplicity and the appreciation of craftsmanship. A single stone turned into a bowl with a few simple manufacturing steps, creating a long lasting, natural, and high-quality product as simple and direct as possible.
As we keep moving ahead, it's important to remember that even small steps can lead to big changes. This is a reminder to think differently about the things we bring into our homes. Let's choose items that really matter to us and show what we believe in. It's about picking things that match our values and show how committed we are to living more thoughtfully. This idea encourages us to be mindful of what we bring home, creating a space that reflects our choice to live in a more aware and intentional way- and the stone bowls and plates are our first step to embrace this vision and an invitation to you to do the same. Let us make this change for a more mindful and peaceful living.
