THE

ESSENCE

COLLECTION

The Essence Collection is inspired by simplicity and restraint, shaped by removing what isn’t needed. These pieces honor balance, breath, and lightness, reminding us that clarity often comes from less, not more.

Presence in the Everyday

The Essence Collection is inspired by the beauty of what remains when everything unnecessary is removed. These pieces are shaped with intention and restraint, allowing negative space, rhythm, and simplicity to define the form. Carved rings and open structures echo the quiet balance found in breath and stillness, a reminder that strength does not always come from adding more, but from honoring what is essential.

In both form and feeling, this collection reflects a sense of lightness. The clay is worked until only what is needed remains, creating pieces that feel open, balanced, and grounded. The Essence Collection invites a pause, a moment to step out of excess and return to clarity.

The Reminder

Each time you see or use a piece from The Essence Collection, we hope it reminds you to slow down and breathe deeply. To notice the space around you, the air in your lungs, and the quiet moments that often go overlooked. By letting go of what isn't needed, there is room to be present and solace in simplicity.
