Sisu Furnish
Pieces that ground homes.
Furniture shaped by hands understanding grain and weight. Ceramic tableware thrown on wheels turned by patient rhythm, wooden seating jointed without shortcuts, surfaces carved from single planks respecting timber's natural character.
Handmade ceramics bear fingerprints of their making: wheel marks beneath glazes, subtle asymmetries proving human presence. Furniture jointed traditionally, teak and rattan woven through Balinese and Scandinavian techniques honouring material limits whilst extending functional life across generations.
Texture in hand. Furniture as spatial anchor. Objects serving daily use whilst refusing disposability.
Crafted for homes where beauty and utility refuse separation, where morning coffee deserves considered cups, where seating invites lingering rather than merely accommodating bodies.
Curated across craft traditions. Functional endurance.

This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
