Modern Focus

Jonathan was (and is) a potter first: rough, smooth, glossy or mottled, each piece of our pottery still starts its journey in our Soho pottery studio where he and his team sculpt the original model in clay. Due to the handmade nature of our pottery, expect slight variations and imperfections from piece to piece.

• UNGLAZED PORCELAIN POTTERY
  Spot clean with soap and water, or make a paste with baking soda for a deep clean. Only use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, as sponges may leach into the ceramic surface. Minor wear can be cleaned with a Magic Eraser. Pieces are also dishwasher safe; top rack recommended.
• CLEAR, COLORED, OR METALLIC GLAZED POTTERY
  Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Hand wash or spot clean with mild soap and water only. Always dry metallic accents and finishes immediately to avoid watermarks and damage.

Materials vary per collection: always consult individual product Care & Cleaning tabs online or tags and product care cards included with your purchase. For care of our most commonly used materials, specifications can be found below in our Materials Guide below.

Clean using a soft, dry microfiber cloth in straight strokes. Never use harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners and/or household window cleaners on acrylic. If you need deep cleaning, use warm (hot water can cause clouding), soapy water and a soft, lint-free cloth. If scratches develop, Novus cleaners may be used to repair.

• BRASS
  Please note that these guidelines apply to our solid cast styles only. Never use brass polish on blackened brass/bronze pieces as it will damage the finish. If desired, use a microfiber cloth to buff out fingerprints. Over time, polished brass will develop a rich natural patina. If you have no patience to wait for patina, use a brass polish. Please note that our brass is coated in a protective topcoat that will wear away with the use of brass polish; To preserve the topcoat, use Novus Level 1 for cleansing instead.
• CORK
  Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading over time. Always blot spills immediately and rinse with a clean, soft damp cloth.

  Our natural reeds are steeped in water by hand to increase their elasticity, then hand-coiled and fastened to base frameworks. Styles are either finished in a warm, honey-toned stain and coated with glossy lacquer, or coated with a satin matte lacquer to enhance their natural coloring.
  
  Dust with a soft, dry cloth or spot clean with a damp cloth. Never use harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners that could erode protective topcoats; It can cause the reed pieces to delaminate.
