Aestus Workshop · Objects from the forge

Made slowly.
Made to stay.

We design and cast objects for the home in small batches. The first is Rook, a concrete incense tower in five rings.

What we hold to

Fewer things.
Better made.

01

It has to work

An object earns its place by what it does. We test each design in daily use before it gets a name.

02

It has to last

Cast concrete and heat-resistant silicone. Materials chosen for years of use, not for a season.

03

It can be repaired

Every piece is made of parts, and every part can be replaced. A chipped ring does not end the object.

Rook

Five concrete rings, stacked and keyed. The incense stick hangs inside the tower and the smoke leaves through the slits between the rings.

About 9 inches tall. Cast by hand. In prototype now.

Ember · Coming soon

Light,
worn.

Ember is the apparel side of the workshop: garments with light stitched into the design. It is in development.

The Forge

Named for
the maker.

Hephaestus was the craftsman of the Greek gods. He made things that worked, and he made them beautiful. That is the whole brief.
