  1. Drawing

    01 · Week 1

    Drawing

    Proportion is resolved on paper first: full-scale sections, sight lines and the single radius that gives the piece its character.

  2. Material selection

    02 · Week 2

    Material selection

    Slabs, boards and cloth are chosen by hand. Anything with a vein or grain that fights the form is set aside.

  3. Making

    03 · Weeks 3–6

    Making

    Frames are joined, stone is cut and the body is built by a single maker who stays with the piece from first cut to last.

  4. Finishing

    04 · Week 7

    Inspection and delivery

Decorative Object in a residential setting

The story

The thinking behind it

Decorative Object began as a question about restraint: how little can a home décor piece do and still change a room. The answer, in the end, was one clear silhouette and one honest material.

It is made in small runs so the studio can stay close to every piece. Stone was chosen not for novelty but because it ages well, a surface that looks better in its fifth year than its first.

Specify it alone against plaster, or let it sit quietly inside a fuller scheme. It is designed to hold either position without argument.

Designer notes

Atelier Maison Studio

Design direction, Abuja

We draw for the room, not the photograph. If a piece only works from one angle, it is not finished.
  • The organic form is deliberately unornamented; the honed finish carries all of the character.
  • Scaled for living room and office settings with generous circulation around it.
  • Sight lines were tested at seated height first, standing height second.

    The material has aged exactly as described, slightly deeper, slightly warmer, six months in.

    Lead time was honest and communication was steady the whole way through. Worth the wait.

    Understated in the best way. It doesn't announce itself, it just makes the room feel finished.
