The Foundry makes decorative pieces with presence: vases and bowls that look as good empty as they do filled. The range mixes polished coloured glass, textured surfaces that look like weathered stone, and metal finishes. Here are the families we stock and how to use them.
Glass with colour
The Radiant vase comes in deep polished tones such as emerald and citrine. Light passes through it, so put it where the sun reaches: a windowsill, or a console opposite a window. The Calypso in autumn or smoke and the Knit vase in deep sea are softer alternatives.
Texture
The Porus pieces have a pitted, stone-like surface. The Porus vase and the low Porus Slant bowl in ebony or ivory suit rooms with lots of timber, linen and plaster.
Metal
The Spirit bowl brings a dark antique metal finish to a coffee table or sideboard.
How to style them
- Odd numbers. Groups of three in different heights look natural; pairs look formal.
- One material per group. Keep glass with glass and texture with texture, then add one contrasting piece.
- Leave them empty. These are sculptural enough to stand alone. When you do add flowers, use a few stems, not a bunch.
- Give them a base. A stack of books or a small tray lifts a bowl and separates it from clutter.
