A gift of wood and resin: how to choose the piece
A board, an ashtray or a small table? A few questions that help a gift suit the person, not just the occasion.
A good share of the pieces from our workshop do not stay with the person who orders them. Boards and ashtrays arrive wrapped, with twine and a card, ready to be handed over. If you are choosing a gift, here is how we think when someone describes the person it is for.
For someone who loves to host
A serving board is a gift that gets used straight away: cheese, cured meats, fruit, or just bread and olive oil. For someone who loves the sea, a wave of blue or teal resin; for a house with a wine cellar, a board with corks cast into it, which can even be their own corks. Handle and rails to choice.
For someone who enjoys a cigar
A cigar ashtray is solid, with four rests, and a real object fits inside it: a compass, gold leaf, a coin, moss cast like a small island. Dark resin with gold sits well with leather and whisky, green with moss next to wood and plants. For a gift, the colour the person loves is often enough.
When the occasion is big
For a wedding, a housewarming or an anniversary, a piece that carries a name: a surname and a coat of arms on a table, initials or a date on a board. Personalised pieces take more time, so get in touch earlier than you would for a board off the shelf.
How to order
- Tell us who the person is and what the occasion is, and we will suggest two or three options.
- Choose the resin colour and the details; if you are not sure, send a photo of the room the piece is going to.
- We agree a deadline and delivery; we ship abroad too.
