Sunao, a Japanese word meaning honesty, embodies the quiet beauty of simplicity. Its design echoes the timeless elegance of a classic vase, distilled to its purest form. With variations in size and shape, Sunao finds its place effortlessly, from a delicate accent in the kitchen to the commanding presence of a dining table centrepiece.
The collection unfolds in two surface and material expressions. The first is ceramic with a smooth finish, offering a refined clarity that complements interiors defined by calm and balance. The second is the Beehive texture, a living dialogue with nature. Cast from shellfish found along the shoreline, its organic surface invites touch and celebrates the raw poetry of the natural world.
Each vase is hand-glazed to achieve a soft, matte finish that carries subtle, one-of-a-kind variations, hallmarks of true craftsmanship. Inside, a waterproof glaze ensures functionality, allowing fresh flowers to harmonise with its sculptural form.

Ceramics
Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, we’ve been working for years with highly skilled ceramists to create a signature palette of natural faded earth tones and tactile finishes. Characterized by its complexity, ceramic is both robust and delicate, soft and crisp.
Coming from a high-quality fine clay, all ceramic products are made from mould and burned in oven. Afterwards each piece is hand painted by brush with up to four times, to achieve a soft brushed surface with a patinated texture like suede leather. Variations will be visible on the same pieces, as well as tones and amount of texture will vary from piece to piece.

Offering endless possibilities, ceramic allows us to experiment with sculptural shapes in new and exciting ways, to create design with a high artistic value.
