Shadow | A dark area or shape produced by an object coming between rays of light and a surface |

5 O'Clock Shadow collection draws inspiration from 3 distinct locales: Almeria, Doha, and Sicily, each contributing its unique essence. The collection features bold black patterns that pay homage to the elongated shadows seen during late summer evenings. The colours used are inspired by the serene beauty of desert landscapes, capturing the ethereal light of morning sunrises and the warm, comforting hues of sunsets. These pieces sold as a pair, feature unique forms with distended, bulbous bellies and elegant tall necks.

Almeria - Almeria pays homage to the sun-drenched shores of this Andalusian city in southern Spain. The forms evoke the sands of the desert, the gentle caress of morning sunbeams, and the iconic silhouette of the Agave Americana tree.

Travel leaves an indelible mark, influencing not only how we live but also what we choose to live with in our homes.

Central to our artistic process is the concept of recycling and repurposing. Throughout this collection, we embrace the philosophy that waste can be a resource. We take discarded materials, such as paper and card, and breathe new life into them, aligning seamlessly with our circular design model. At the core of our technique is "decoupage," a method that adds depth and texture, enhancing the play of light and shadow within our creations. Recycled paper, card, and even egg boxes are repurposed into paper mâché and paper pulp creations. This aligns with our circular design model, where materials are reborn, echoing the essence of light and shadow.

Care and Limited Edition Information These forms have been sealed with a matte varnish, ensuring they can be easily cleaned with a light damp cloth. The base is crafted from Jesmonite, an eco-resin, that not only provides stability but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability. It features a cork base, enabling the forms to be displayed in any setting.

In the 5 O'Clock Shadow collection, we celebrate the world's diverse landscapes, cultures, and the immense potential for sustainability hidden in discarded materials. We invite viewers to appreciate how creative design can not only transform waste into something meaningful but also serve as a conduit for environmental consciousness and appreciation of the world's vast, interconnected beauty.

This is a limited edition collection, designed and for sale as a pair, as if in a dialogue, offering a unique statement piece for any setting.
