Journal
Stories from the cutting table.
Behind-the-scenes process notes, material stories, and sustainability insights from the studio.
Behind the scenes
Inside the studio: a week on the Amani chair
From deconstructed corduroy to finished frame — the full build of a one-off lounge chair, in photos and notes.
Material story
The curtain that became a trench coat
Traced from a Nairobi estate sale to a finished one-of-one garment — the story of the Wanjiru Trench.
Studio notes

On slow production, single editions, and resisting the pressure to scale what was never meant to repeat.
Sustainability
Measuring impact without greenwashing
Why we'd rather publish honest, small numbers than impressive-sounding ones we can't stand behind.
Craft
Sorting by hand: colour, weight, weave
The quiet, unglamorous first step that decides whether a textile becomes a jacket or a headboard.
