LOUISE ROE

LOUISE ROE makes home objects that sit between sculpture and daily use, with glass, ceramic and metal doing most of the talking. Founded in Copenhagen in 2010 by Louise Roe Andersen, the studio grew from a fashion-trained eye for complete collections and honest materials made by European craftspeople. The pieces are quiet in purpose but rarely plain in outline, which is exactly what makes them work in a real room.

LOBMEYR

LOBMEYR treats glassware as part of the architecture of a table, where a tumbler or pitcher can carry as much presence as a vase. Founded in Vienna by Josef Lobmeyr in 1823, the family house has moved from Biedermeier glass and imperial commissions into collaborations with modern designers. The current selection keeps that long view intact, pairing hand-finished crystal with shapes that feel surprisingly current.

Astier De Villatte

Astier de Villatte is a Paris home house founded in 1996 by Benoît Astier de Villatte, Mathilde Carron-Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli. The founders met through the École des Beaux-Arts milieu and built the line around hand-finished ceramics inspired by objects from the past. The collection still treats a butter dish, vase or incense holder as a small piece of domestic archaeology.

JIA JIA Home

JIA JIA Home makes small domestic objects from richly veined stone and crystal, with jewelry boxes, bowls, trays and game sets forming the core of this selection. The brand’s own account describes a Chinese sense of home and family as part of its starting point, while the objects themselves lean into geological pattern. It is a collection for people who like their useful things to carry a little ceremony.

L'Objet

L’Objet was founded by Elad Yifrach in 2005 from a desire to turn everyday rituals into objects of beauty, memory and connection. The house’s work treats porcelain, glass, metal and paper as places for pattern and ceremony rather than mere utility. This selection makes the table feel like a setting, even when the object is only a small box or game.

Reflections Copenhagen

The home decor brand of my dreams. Reflections Copenhagen makes crystal and glass decor with the attitude of small-scale sculpture. Founded in 2015 by Andrea Larsson and Julie Hugau, the Copenhagen brand set out to push against predictable interiors by using natural light, strong color, and handcrafted forms aka it's playful without becoming flimsy, and functional without pretending to be invisible.
